yeah. dude, i can't say anything mean cause i once had your same idea. but the only band anywhere near punk is green day. but you've made a start. papa roach and puddle of mud are hard rock bands. green day is a punk-influenced pop rock band. and the rest are pop rock. but you like hard rock, so you'll be able to handle some intensity and speed. i know you're in austrailia, but get to some large CD store, most likely in your local mall. buy anything by these artists:

Anti-Flag
Bouncing Souls
Bane
Bad Religion
The Clash
Discharge
From Ashes Rise
the FUs
Minor Threat
NOFX
Kid Dynamite
Rise Against
The Ramones
The Sex Pistols

that'll work for a long time.
