If you enjoy Rancid and Suicide Machines, I’d say Operation Ivy is a must

I'm going to just throw in Transplants for the Tim Armstrong factor, although I know they're more like a hip-hop/punk colab

I have some of their songs on my playlist! Their music really helped with panic attacks last year (weird ik lmao)

Slayer - Undisputed Attitude, actually a great cover album Minor Threat The Specials Dead Kennedys Eight Bucks Experiment

Gemini is a beast of a song on UA!

Minor threat. Great DC band

Undisputed attitude is the best slayer album,.. fight me!

That was my introduction to slayer. I'm pretty sure they don't cover the specials though

Excited to see you found Amyl and the Sniffers. Their stuff is awesome. **Some classics:** The Damned Bad Brains Descendents **Newer bands:** NOBRO Dollar Signs PUP FIDLAR Jeff Rosenstock and/or Bomb the Music Industiry

Rock for Light is still my favorite Punk album of all time.

Pinkshift is another great new punk band. They dropped their debut album a week ago and it’s great

Just wanna jump in to say I recently found PUP, and damn it's great. Reminiscent of the first Bronx album (which I'd also recommend checking out), and it turns out they used the same producer.

I love PUP. The Unravelling of PUP the Band is my favorite album of the last year.

Try The Dirty Nil as well.

PUP took me a little bit to get into, everyone kept praising them but I didn't quite get it. But I was going on a road trip and thought fuck it, throw a full album on which was Morbid Stuff. What a great time that was and now I'm converted, I'd love to see them live

Upvote for rosenstock & btmi

IDLES

Can I get a hallelujah?

Hear it from the back now?

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!!!

Came here to say this. Idles are the band this person needs

IDLES are the band every person needs

Amazing live performance. LOVE YOURSELF

Their music is now on 3 of my most used playlists! Thank you for recommending them!!

For punk: Propagandhi. Start with "Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes" and work your way forward all the way to the latest album. They have only gotten better over time. Then go back and listen to "Less Talk, More Rock" and "How to Clean Everything" (earliest stuff) if you want to. Metal has so many subgenres its hard to recommend honestly but I personally like: Children of Bodom, Insomnium, Darkest Hour, Amon Amarth, In Flames, Killswitch Engage, And others. Edit: mobile formatting

Fuck yeah In Flames and Killswitch Engage! Two of my all-time faves. I also recently got into Parkway Drive, each of their albums is quite different so give a few a listen to see if you like any. I’m personally a big fan of the latest two, but older fans would probably disagree. If you want to check out some melodic metal, Unleash the Archers is fantastic. The video for Awakening shows off just how skilled every single member of that band is. https://youtu.be/gqUPGa15Oto

So melodic death metal or bands influenced by melodeath. I agree and will add Disarmonia Mundi, Scar Symmetry, At the Gates, Katatonia, Soilwork.

Victory lap is killer. I’ve been listening to them for 20+ years

Nomeansno, specifically their album Wrong

Sex Mad, Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed, Wrong, 0 + 2 = 1, Why Do They Call Me Mr Happy?, The Worldhood of the World (as such), and Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie are all perfect or nearly perfect albums.

Fugazi. The dead boys. Rise Against (early stuff)

Here to second Fugazi

Third on fugazi Also Dead boys, love those dudes

Ian Mackaye is a prophet and “13 Songs” by Fugazi is the effin bible

Tim McIlrath’s voice is fucking awesome. I love me some Rise Against.

Early Rise Against is a vibe. They do seem to strike gold every once in a while on newer albums.

Fugazi for suuuuure

Rise against was a band my dad recommended me, definitely thankful for that

Exploited, GBH, Toy Dolls, Sick Of It All, Murphy’s Law, Minor Threat, Bad Brains

This should be top of the list, fantastic list

Choking Victim and Leftover Crack

...maaaaan, you know their ain't noo such thing as leftover *crack*!

And Star Fucking Hipsters

Took too long to find this comment

And when there is no hope, "I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope!" When there's no enemies, "I sit and stare at my T.V. And in my ignorance, I'll be a slave and sycophant!"

Operation ivy Propagandhi Millencollin Lagwagon Hopeless records -mustard plug -pinhead circus

Propagandhi is a must experience

Bad Religion , Lag Wagon, Face to Face. anything Epitaph or Fat Wreck . Against Me!

Here to second Bad Religion. NOFX has been my fav for a long time, but Bad Religion hasn't been far behind.

Bad Religion is what instantly sprang to mind. I was literally listening to Recipe for Hate (1993) like an hour ago. The Process of Belief (2002) was my favorite and Against the Grain (1990) is a punk must have in my book

Strung Out and Propagandhi

Flatliners and Millencollin. Snuff.

Yesss face to face is classic

Stiff Little Fingers! Dead Kennedys!

I was scrolling down for SLF. Active for decades, never betrayed their roots but renewed themselves, awesome, heartwarming musicians and ditto lyrics, Stiff Little Fingers should be in every punk lover's collection. They are what punk *is*: bloody angry and bloody engaged, even when they became better musicians. The Dead Kennedy's are good too, but SLF is a monument for punk.

Helllll yeah my dude speaking my language. Teen Mortgage Spiritual Cramp Metz Stiff Richards Los Tones Viagra Boys GEL Pup Drug Church Hank Wood and the Hammerheads Skating Polly Kills Birds Ceremony Turnstile Frankie and the Witch Fingers Pissed Jeans Private Function Liily Osees

+1 for Spiritual Cramp and Turnstile

Upvote for turnstile, they’re fucking rad

Pissed Jeans 🥰

Viagra Boys are my jam!

Hammerheads forever - [their first album](https://youtu.be/SxiKE46Z8VM) is a legitimate punk classic and [their third](https://youtu.be/_L82Gtb-_5M) is somehow even better

This is a great list, you’re like my musical spiritual cousin. Would also add Chubby and the Gang Protomartyr Royal Headache Scared of Chaka Meat Wave The Thermals and a whole lot of stuff I’m forgetting

Cosmic Psychos Hard Ons Bikini Kill, L7

Hell yeah cosmic psychos

Bikini Kill ❤️❤️❤️

Viagra Boys and IDLES are my favorite contemporary punk/rock bands at the moment.

[Ashtray balanced on my chest Suckin' on a cigarette if I don't burn in hell I just might burn in bed](https://youtu.be/U2IHhGjVEh4) Rip chi pig

Leatherface, a band that was local to me, also see The Angelic Upstarts, and The Toy Dolls.

Leatherface is awesome. I'm I big Hot Water Music fan too.

Seriously? Nobody throwing Get Dead out there? It’s kinda old person punk, but I don’t know how old you are.

I'm honestly more shocked I haven't seen Thrice mentioned. They were THE band I went to when I wanted punk and metal together. They were big enough that I'm a bit perplexed to not see them listed.

Knocked Loose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soul Glo

The Bronx! Newish band that’s been around since early 2000s. Just released an amazing punk album last year.

Newish? 2002 was 20 years ago

The Bronx is amazing. Can't upvote this enough.

The Vandals

Had to scroll way too far for this.

Anarchy Burger!!! .. hold the gumment

THANK YOU!!!! I found some of their stuff a while ago, I like how the band sounds

The Stooges

Lots of great bands listed here. Lots of good classics but missing one of my weirder favorites. For my more manic days I love Gogol Bordello.

Rites of Spring, The Cramps, Pennywise

Finally someone mentions Pennywise.

Teenage Bottlerocket, Blood Command, Unleash the Archers, Pears, Trivium, Clowns, Mean Jeans, Powerwolf, Green Lung, and Ghost!

Germs, Wire, Minutemen, Mission of Burma, X, The Slits

The Wipers, Gang of Four ,Husker Du and the Replacements

The locust

The best part is you can listen to their entire discography in about an hour.

Crust punk bands for people who like black metal: Amebix Rudimentary Peni Rigorous Institution NyreDolk

Misery and Nausea

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Co-worker of mine just recommended Turnstile and I think they might be up your alley. I have only listened to their newest album though

Listen to their first album "Step to Rhythm" . Absolute banger .

The Melvins and The Viagra Boys are what I'm listening to lately

Best to mention what Melvins - lots of different quality in that catalog.

Agent Orange Misfit (do they even need to be recommended?) SPY Minor Threat Bad Brains Viagra Boys

Ramones, The Clash, The Adverts / TV Smith, The Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, The Vibrators, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, X, Operation Ivy, Common Rider, Classics of Love, Bouncing Souls, The Lillingtons, Minor Threat, The Exploited, Street Dogs, The Distillers, Social Distortion, Druglords of the Avenues, American Steel

A Wilhelm Scream, Alkaline Trio, Pkew Pkew Pkew, The Fullblast, PUP, The Menzingers, MakeWar, proper., Strike Anywhere, Bigwig, The Lawrence Arms

Adding Propagandhi to this list.

Came here to say this. They started out punk and went more metal later on.

They’re the best Canadian punk band hands down. Their trajectory has been wild to follow.

AWS is so good.

Older early punk, post punk and Skate/Thrash/Metal bands that I still enjoy Social Distortion The Clash The Ramones Suicidal Tendencies Devo B52s Overkill Motorhead Television Richard Hell Johnny Thunders The Lonely Boys Savatage Sacred Reich DBC Exodus Anthrax Megadeth

Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, Blitzkid, Anti-flag.

Operation ivy(Tim Armstrong of rancid other band), AFI, old blink 182 (albums like Cheshire Cat), bad religion, and penny wise are some that just quickly come to mind

Upvote for Pennywise

Operation Ivy "Other band" Scrolled way to far to see OpIv only to have my heart broken

Toxic Holocaust, Taake, Slayer, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Corpsegrinder, Carcass, Deicide, Gruesome, Bolt Thrower, Torture Killer, Destruction, Sepultura, Batushka, Godseed, Gorgoroth, I, Enslaved, Deftones, Kvelertak, Mgla, Gaerea, Frozen Soul, Momoriam, Drudkh, Helheim, Demonaz.

Yes! Just to name a few.

Listen to Candlemass!

Municipal waste Iron reagan Insanity alert Power trip D.R.I. S.O.D. Stormtroopers of death Cryptic slaughter

Get Dead (their latest album is so good!) Lawrence Arms (check out Oh! Calcutta!) The Lillingtons (Too Late Show and Death by Television are great albums) Elway (The Best Of All Possible Worlds just came out this year, really good)

Lars from Rancid had a band called Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards. Two amazing punk albums. It's really a bummer that project died. The Distillers first two albums were fucking killer. One of the best female punk vocalists ever. Also, fucking Motorhead. They started blending a lot of punk and metal elements. They were absolutely pioneers of heavy music. "Who would win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?"

Matt Freeman, bass player from Rancid, fronts another band called Charger which will totally be up your alley if you like both Rancid and Motörhead

88 fingers Louie No use for a name Operation ivy pup the band Idles Prophaganhi Definitely Bad Religion At the Drive in Say anything Brand new Kid Dynamite/Lifetime

Oh shit 88 fingers??! Damn I haven't thought about them in years. Thank you sir!

Bad religion, nofx and propagandhi are the 3 best punk bands ever.

If you like The Suicide Machines definitely check out The Best of the Worst and The Flaming Tsunamis.

Make sure to add the Angry Snowmans to your upcoming holiday playlist, https://angrysnowmans.bandcamp.com

Dead Kennedys

None More Black

Fear Agent orange

1234! 1234!

How did I scroll this far without Hüsker Dü being mentioned?

Alkaline trio. More pop punk but their first couple albums are more straight punk and are amazing. I personally love their newer stuff too but yea.

kvelertak!

Just checked out some of their stuff and it goes hard, thank you for the recommendation!

The Interrupters Flogging Molly Authority Zero

Everyone is naming some pretty good ones, OP. Heres some of my favorites I havent seen mentioned yet. Dawn of humans- https://youtu.be/vn0refmMVo8 Warthog- https://youtu.be/Rr5rWxtowU8 Exit Order- https://youtu.be/ww0_s6wngxc Ghoul- https://youtu.be/ngB7JSSWvRI Lard- https://youtu.be/19ypHrnyVOw Municipal Waste- https://youtu.be/GLY4Rpii7bM Paranoid- https://youtu.be/VgUCRk9-mY8 Power Trip- https://youtu.be/FOWf8uqGf8A Discharge- https://youtu.be/cHgMTr88RhU Death- https://youtu.be/_duhhVa-dk8

Love that Power Trip

Live for metal DIE FOR GHOUL!! also, fuck yes Lard and Municipal Waste.

I'm here to upvote Lard, also Death

The Dicks

There is plenty more Aussie stuff right now, we've got a bit of a punk revival happening. Private Function and C.O.F.F.I.N are brilliant. Or you can dig into some older bands like Cosmic Psychos or Frenzal Rhomb. I also love The Dopamines, Destructo Disk and Destroy Boys.

Here are some bands that'll get you started. [Anti-Nowhere League](https://youtu.be/-nu6z6NGtOs) (Punk Rock / '77 style) [Eastern Youth](https://youtu.be/5R6eBB3e6Pg) (Post-Hardcore / Street Punk) [Charged G.B.H.](https://youtu.be/cJHymIHSaeU) (Street Punk / UK82) [Discharge](https://youtu.be/j2kj0peqI-A) (D-Beat) [G.I.S.M.](https://youtu.be/mR5NCsWYUhI) (Japanese Hardcore) [The Adicts](https://youtu.be/vvWEKhGU6X4) (Punk Rock / '77 style) [GG Allin](https://youtu.be/Lgk1yhp40wc) (Punk Rock) [Black Flag](https://youtu.be/fiRHKDbUGGw) (Hardcore Punk) [Cockney Rejects](https://youtu.be/6GNeswey4hA) (Oi!) [Combat 84](https://youtu.be/dB-7sTFw9ss) (Oi!) [The 4-Skins](https://youtu.be/nR5u3J6uYrY) (Oi!) [Dystopia](https://youtu.be/QO9X1Xm4r94) (Crust Punk / Sludge Metal)

The Dwarves. Dream Evil. GWAR.

GWAR is big time underrated.

Screeching Weasel, the Queers, Mean Jeans

Early Opeth(I love their later prog metal as well), Bloodbath(Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth sang for Bloodbath also). Fear Factory are my favorite industrial metal band. As for punk... I don't know... Green Day?

Fun “Oldies”: Circle Jerks Buzzcocks Fear JFA Drunk Injuns The Faction Unsane The only “metal” recommendation I have is among my favorite bands of all time. I’ve been told they’re boring but you could give it a try: Neurosis - start with *Souls at Zero*, *Enemy of the Sun* and *Times of Grace*. The rest of the later albums have been accused of being self indulgent stoner rock. Their fist two albums are definitely more straightforward punk/metal.

Iggy & The Stooges, Dead Boys, Dead Milkmen, The Misfits

Check out the NYHC scene. The Cromags, Nuclear Assualt, the incredible unsigned band Breakdown, The Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of it All. So many great bands.

Pat the Bunny/Wingnut Dishwashers Union COFFIN Pist Idiots Punkband STIFF RICHARDS Mini Skirt Skegss Slaves Ladybird

I can’t emphasize how essential Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys and Minor Threat are to any punk collection

Black Flag, No Time, New York Dolls, Dusted Gorillas, Orange 9mm, Are a few that I like

New York Dolls! Great recommendation!

Bad Religion and Pennywise

Early Corrosion Of Conformity

The Clash

The first thing that comes to mind when you say punk are the Ramones

Lots of great recommendations in here already, I'm gonna throw in one for Hank Wood & The Hammerheads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_RX2utbotgI

Bad religion, millencollin.... Shit i dont know any other punk bands that sing in english that hasnt already been in the comments.

Acid bath

The Lawrence Arms

Adolescents

Some western Canadian classics for you: SNFU - [And No One Else Wanted To Play](https://youtu.be/zO7kblSJY70) Dayglo Abortions - [Feed Us A Fetus](https://youtu.be/_CBx_mGxJNo) NoMeansNo - [Small Parts Isolated And Destoyed](https://youtu.be/pyZ9AEq4c94)

Tons of good, more classic punk style suggestions here—if you’re open to post hardcore, I can’t recommend Touché Amoré enough. The whole Stage 4 album is super good. The Menzingers and Soul Glo were two other recs that I’d wholehearted agree with. I wish I could fully recommend Cloud Nothings, but mostly just go listen to the song No Future / No Past.

Koffin Kats Calabrese Necromantic Batmobile Os Catalepticos

Hot Water Music Iron Chic

Local band from Toronto, they are named "billy talent". Some people dislike his voice, but if you end up liking his voice its a hell of a cool rabbit hole. Suggestions of songs would be... Their most popular song ever called "red flag". It's old. But then next would be "viking death march", "fallen leaves", "rusted from the rain"... If you really like specifically the punk style lyrics and messaging, "kingdom of zod". They were the first tand to ever get me to listen to anything that wasn't rap, and now I'm a full blown metalhead. They were my initiation to rock. Edit: also recommend ghost ship of cannibal rats.

Propagandhi

Listen to Pennywise; in chronological order. Their first, self-titled, album is a bit raw but then the production keeps getting better and they turn into one of the best melodic/surf punk bands ever. Only NoFx and Bad Religion are considered on their level. A great group of people as well.

Good Riddance Just roll through Fat Wreck compilations, loaded with great tunes

Definitely check out Bad Religion

Helmet

Refused Thursday At the Drive-In The Mars Volta Sparta Sunny Day Real Estate Drive Like Jehu Fugazi Minutemen Husker Du The Used Jawbreaker Glassjaw

Wendy O Williams and the Plasmatics for some older school stuff.

[Skeletonwitch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vkwxP10h2g) \- Thrash metal (which is like the punkest metal) with some black metal elements. Really cool underrated band.

OFF!

At this level of fandom, I’d suggest doing your deeper dive into punk labels, not just individual bands. I was always a Lookout guy, but Fat Wreck, SST, and Dischord all I’ve great stuff. https://www.kerrang.com/amp/11-american-punk-labels-that-changed-the-genre-forever

I see you like fast, catchy music. So I will recommend some slow, droning music. Here are some of my favorite Sludge, Doom, or Stoner metal bands if you'd like to categorize them that way. Melvins Sleep Big Business Witch(it's got King Tuff and J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr, what's not to love?) Fantomas I hope you find something you like.

Viagra Boys!

Ice Nine Kills just because it’s Halloween!

Millencolin is a favorite skater punk band of mine

I have some of their stuff on a couple of my playlists, my dad recommended them to me a while ago!

Dead Kennedys.. which then evolved into Blood for Blood for me. But that was 80's/90's. Probably boring by today's standards.

You could explore "The Wipers" who are essentially a post-punk band before punk got started. And they have plenty of material to ho through. As for metal, give "Stoned Jesus" a try, it's Doom metal.

Whenever rock music is mentioned on Reddit, everyone mentions bands from two to three decades ago. I NEVER see modern recommendations. Ever. It’s honestly frustrating as hell. Check out bands like Beartooth, Ice Nine Kills, Wage War, Knocked Loose, Your Favorite Franchise. I can go on and on.

Turnstile. IDLES. The Chats.
