I'm a jaded post punk punk rocker, you got a problem with it? I never dug the fashion element, nor the angry element. I always loved the political and consciously rebellious elements. I missed the real punk era, the Vandals, Sex Pistols, Cramps, et. al. I did catch the waning tide of op ivy, dead kennedys, mxpx, pennywise, nofx, nomeansno, etc, etc...
I haven't heard punk that I felt had a political message or a tight refined sound in years, but thanks to my friend Randy, great recording engineer in Dallas if you ever need one, I found Poster Boy Material. In one album these guys fom Dallas, TX hit on Gay Marriage, Immigration Policy, Drug Abuse, and Elitism with a sound that ranges from the edge of hardcore to ska. I can't wait to get the album
