Well hopefully their 2nd album will do that , a friend on mine has heard a leaked version & says it`s awesome

they are amazing, how many are in the band?

There`s the 2 dudes with the huge afros & 3 others I think

Rise Against was 98 i think.

Scarlet is my favorite band post 2000.

I should have put Hope Of The States in that list too.

The Lost Riots is a good album but they`re one of the very few bands around I think who can improve on that.

Rise Against formed in 1999, but didn't have a full band nor anything recorded until after 2000. They got signed to Fat Wreck and issued "The Unraveling" in 2001.

Scarlet rock!! :p:

Im my opinion the decades go on the 5's. the 70's had their claws in pop culture from approximatly '75 to '85. No obviously at the begining and end of each, its really weak. But I don't think Winger had a CD out in '81 (but I could be wrong)

And yeah I think the emo thing is really post-hardcore. The list rites of spring as an emo band alot, they were out in like '85 or something. Emo is tough since no band wants to be emo.

The Stripes are blindingly awesome.

Rise against are good killers have some good tunes,Von Bondies pawn shoppe heart was a cool CD but nothing thats like "omfg thats the a fav band" havent been many punk acts that have grabbed me.

Get some 80s Matchbox B Line Disaster , I wouldn`t call them punk (But thats because I don`t call any bands after 1980 punk) but they are the best punk influenced band i`ve heard in years.
