Slow were a highly regarded Canadian punk band from the 80's that only ever released a 6 inch and a few singles before imploding. They are regarded as having influenced the Seattle grunge scene...to what extend...???

Really? I've listened to a bit of them, but don't remember them being anything special. And their last album was kind of a dumpster fire. I mean, those lyrics. Woof. That's some ICP-level poetry right there.

I tend to like British hardcore because they messed around with a lot of effects pedals, (Reverb, delay, phasers ect)







Lol on the high grade poetry, Wattie's not a guy with a college degree, sex and violence....and a lot of booze

I was talking about Blood for Blood.

I mean, listen to these lyrics. They're like an unintentional parody of every trashy NYHC/beatdown hardcore band. These lyrics are just as, if not more ridiculous than anything Hatebreed, Madball, or Sick of It All ever put out. And let's not talk about the melodic vocals on Outlaw Anthems, sprinkled like newly laid turds all over the ****ing record. This is really one of the only songs that doesn't have them on that album, which is why it is one of the only actual good songs on it. But it's still dumb as ****.

Oh lol, Blood for Blood, well they're the ultimate hard knocks street band...

When it comes to punk I guess I'd rather listen to some tough SOB screaming about life on the streets than some vegan pussie preaching their politics to me.

(Sorry Bob, not thinking of your bands, I'm envisioning Anti Flag not Youth of Today...your stuff rocks.)

Not that their is anything wrong with being vegan of course, I just hate it when I'm listening to music and feel like I'm undergoing a political indoctrination session.

Not incompatible. Rules in art are either nonexistent or incomprehensibly nebulous. There's always a way to make art "good". It's just that many people who want to bitch about politics AND make music are young narcissists with a chip on their shoulder who just want to tell everyone else how much better they are than everyone else.
