Maybe this should be in the off topic section, if so feel free to move it. I'm looking for quality new punk recommendations. Not looking for crust or HC but proper old school street punk and oi! Give it to me.
Blitz - Voice of a Generation
Last Resort/Combat 84 split
Well yeah, good old recommendations welcome too, but any decent new stuff on the go?
Oh, ermmm...dunno!
Old firm casuals? Might tickle your earholes
Been enjoying this Haymaker EP a good bit. Oi from Czech Republic

Not Oi! type punk (more comic tongue in cheek The Dickies type punk) but my fav new punk band in ages are the Aussie band The Chats :

Shithätt, one of the best bands in the country, called it a day recently unfortunately. They at least put out a few releases . They don't really fit into any of the categories you mentioned, either for or against, but they're just quality

The Take from NYC. Caught them supporting Agnostic Front last year. Also previous members of Agnostic Front,Biohazard etc but they play old school Oi/punk. Seem to do it well too even though its not really my cup of tea.

I listen to a lot of older stuff but I would recommend Leatherface, poison idea. I will try and think of more stuff and lost up
Cheers dudes. I'll wade in!
Amyl and the sniffers
The Lee Harveys (Irish band)
G.L.O.S.S
Monkhouse (Irish band, older stuff)
The Ruts
Subhumans
DRI
Snuff
Guns N Wankers
NOFX (early stuff is better imo)
FEAR
Not strictly Oi, but Viagra Boys from Sweden...

I love Monkhouse. The Ruts are deadly as well. Early NOFX, yup. I've heard bits and pieces of some of those other bands but I'll give them a spin. Cheers.
Monkhouse were fantastic, that whole era was brilliant for Punk in Ireland, you had bands like Bambi, Stricknien DC, The Steam Pig, Skint, loads and loads of talent. Im sure its great now I'm just at the age where I dont get out much now and I'm out of the scene a bit
The first pink gig I was at was the Striknien DC/ Monkhouse split release gig in the Ormond in 96. Stomach, Skint and Nappyrash played too if I remember correctly. The mid- late 90s was savage for punk gigs. I went to loads up in Slattery's back then.
I too would be interested in getting a few recommendations of newer punk stuff as another poster pointed out I'm old and out of touch. The only recent Oi bands I know of would be of the RAC variety and probably not suitable for this forum😉.
Good to see a few shouts for Monkhouse, class band but not a patch on Striknein DC, who's records are as essential as Irish punk gets imo.
Striknien remain the top of the pile indeed, but Monkhouse are a close second.
Anyone into Knifed? Mero from the Secret book and record shop/Rejected Records band. Pretty vicious hardcore in the day, also put out stuff by Monkhouse, Scientific Bong, Bastard Youth etc . This is EireCore!

Yeah two class bands, monk house were very different to Stricknien. Mero funded and supported the scene for a long time and his rejected releases were top class and help bands a lot. I was at the Ormond gig, there were a few there, they had a skate board ramp in the venue during one of the gigs which was brilliant. You also had places like Charlies, the Attic and the Old China man were they were some amazing gigs.

Found this and its new enough. Raw and nasty, the Finnish way. Think it may have Goatmoon members involved.

I was at that myself, great night. Have the CD around somewhere. Slattery's was great for gigs alright, was at a great one there for a Ruts tribute CD release. Anyone else brave The Chinaman back in the day?

went most weeks saw some amazing gigs there and it was a great place to drink, loved the place. The fox and pheasant had some amazing gigs too. Where are punk gigs happening now in town?
I've dug a lot of the stuff from the youtube channel No Deal, pretty much all modern undergroundish stuff.

Couldn't tell you, I moved out of Dublin years ago, it must be 20 years since I was at a punk gig there.
Not up on the scene at all these days. Found a load of old Bad Religion albums in the attic recently and gave them a blast. 'How could he'll be any worse?' is great. Much more raw than what came after. Was mad into them in the 90s. Love 'No Control' .
Only punk I listen to these days is Rudimentary Peni.

Love that bad religion album, wasn't into anything after that. Having been listening to a lot of crass, coitus and gorilla biscuits this week.

I was at that Ruts tribute, too. I had that comp a good few years before actually buying a Ruts CD. Cracking stuff.
Absolutely love the ruts, another great Irish band were gout, so many great band in Ireland at the time

From Kilkenny? Great band, I lived above the guitarist out by the canal, sound lad.
Fast forward 20 years and I fucking have gout. Which is not sound.
Jaysus sorry to hear that man, yeah the drummer is that guy RSAG, sound lad and great musician

Yep. I worked in the Rejected shop and helped put most of those records together. Filled in on bass for Knifed once or twice too early on.
Gout were my introduction to the local hc scene when I was 16.
I presume people here know Disguise?Ex-Zom/Vircolac :laugh: doing their last gig next month.
Definitely more of a hardcore thank punk person (I fucking hate Oi)so I've little to offer..I guess locally The Slua and Grit fit the kind of thing Andy wants maybe.
Other great Irish bands were, Jackbeast, Running riot, pink turds in space, Stomach, The Blue Babies, Brinskill Bomb Beat and I am sure there are many many more I can't think of right now
Other good bands I would listen to regulalry Oi Polloi, GBH, Was Tyler, Peter and the test tube babies, Bleeding rectum, Chaos UK, Conflict, The Damned, Discharge, Poison girls, SLF.
Jack beast were incredible but musically 100% not for this thread. Think I posted about them in the Noise Rock threas
I dont know man they played an awful lot of punk gigs, I think it would be fairly subjective really
Skint & Stagnation were good back in the day, and I remember enjoying Hellvision. A shortlived band called Genital Mishap also entertained, I think I have their demo in a box in the attic.

In general terms sure,Id agree..in terms of this thread it's not subjective at all. Read the first post. A specific style is mentioned. Jackbeast are not that style sonically in any way shape or form.
Gout really shouldn't be here either for the same reason.They sounded more like early Prong.

Skint and stagnation were class, Mero used to have a band called Dr Shitface,
This is a good blog for checking out Irish punk bands and bands around at that time,. I found it ages ago and honestly it brought me right back to the time of parties on Hill street and jumping around the Fox and Pheasant

Gout were a punk hardcore band, their album Mr Wonderfull is 100% punk and hardcore IMO, as well as their 7" for what its worth (that's the name of the 7", not me being a bollix :) )
Jackbeast I always include in the punk category but I meant subjective from my point of view. Every time I saw them live they were playing gigs with the steam pig, cheapskate, bambi and a load of other bands
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeRIOTn9QFA
They also did a split release with spithead in 96 who were a ska punk band, so just from my point of view I always regard them as punks. Im just throwing stuff out there for the poster that he might like, that's all. Not looking to define genres.

Nice one, some good stuff there.
I'll aware of that era of Irish bands as I went to loads of punk gigs back then but Pentagrimes is right, it's not what I'm asking for. I'm looking for new bands that as playing quality oi and street punk, or stuff like Striknien whatever their style was.
Fair enough 👍
Some cracking bands operating back then, in fairness. I'm assuming there are plenty of newer old school punk bands knocking about that I'm just not clued up on.
Yeah the few i know i mentioned earlier and some of the guys suggested some great stuff. Im old school myself, goes with the age i suppose 😀 I wouldnt be well up on modern street punk stuff but would definitely be open to recommendations though
Another shout for Strikniën D.C.
Ghettoblast is one of the best punk albums ever released. 20 absolute rock solid tracks. I remember getting it the year of my junior cert and being enthralled by it, it's still one of my favourite albums. Killer drumming throughout too.
Steeky, Stomach and Monkhouse and later Puget Sound were also cool punk bands.
I had a tape from an English crowd called Spithead, never managed to find anything online from them since though.
Yeah beano drumming on those stricknien albums is fantastic, great band all round. Spithead were a good band, saw them in Charlie's bar and picked up that 'swag' tape. A ska punk sound but not cheesy and the girl singer was great too.
Are you still in Spain Caoimhin? There's a great bar in Madrid called the wrong way, punk bar with great tunes
Sorry guys for going off topic
Still in Madrid alright (kid and a mortgage, no escape now!). The bird is away for a while in early Feb so I'll have a look at that place whilst I'm free, cheers :)

Decent oi band from Belfast Takers and users https://youtu.be/7n8g39BDdM8 https://youtu.be/Kku-sNYHBbQ ..
Running riot from the north were excellent too, worth checking out
