Bands I'm really into at the moment:

  1. Fall Out Boy (Recently discovered).
  2. Green Day (Started listening to them when I had my first bout of depression, still like them)
  3. Sum 41 (Liked them since childhood)
  4. Foo Fighters (Got into them 3 years ago)
  5. Biffy Clyro (Got into them 2 years ago)

Does anyone have any recommendations for bands that are similar sounding to the above? Any suggestions greatly received.

    Welcome!!

    I love punk rock like Green Day!!!!

    The Buzzcocks are good, I don't know if that counts as punk but they seem quite rebellish for their time (which is like the 70s, they are probably quite tame by todays standards)

    I never heard of "punk pop" but I quite like Avril Lavigne as she seems kind of punky even though she isn't a rock singer, her songs seem like she has an attitude but like not in a bad way if that makes sense??

    I feel old now..

    Avril was good, I listened to some of her songs in the car when I was a child.

    I've seen the Buzzcocks live, they were excellent.

    Ok now we're talking!

    I've been on the music scene locally for donkeys years and was around during the first collection of pop punk bands and DJed a fair few club nights, so I know a fair bit here. 😁

    I'm guessing you know Blink 182? Their first couple of albums are very silly pop punk, but their later stuff is still great, a lot more mature though.
    Other bands I'd say you should check out;
    Brand New, Saves the Day, Alkaline Trio, Paramore, Simple Plan, New Found Glory, Sum 41 and The All-American Rejects. That should do you for a while. 😊

    And I'm glad to see Avril is releasing songs again, wohoo!

    Thanks for your recommendations Albums, I will have a look into those. On a side note - are you a Harry Potter fan, because your username is Albus?

    I got into Blink182 fairly recently, I prefer their first 2 albums instead of their later stuff.

    Simple Plan - another band I've recently discovered, only heard one and 1/2 of their first 2 albums. Not heard any of their new stuff, but I know that Deryk Whibley collaborated on one of their newest songs.

    Sum41 - the band whose songs I relate to a lot. Shame they split up recently, their new and last album is really good.

    The All-American Rejects - I had Dirty Little Secret on a compilation album in my Dad's car when I was a child, Move Along was also on there, and I still enjoy both songs.

    I listen to so much music I find it hard to split into separate genres. Hopefully all of these fit that category though. If you ever listen to the radio, try Radio X for this sort of thing. 🙂

    Panic! At The Disco, Blossoms, The Wombats, Muse, The Lathums, You Me At Six, Foals.

    FallOutBoyfan, all your favourites also play on Radio 6 I discovered when Radio X stopped working on my digital radio! Both great stations for new and old punky rock.

    Sleaford Mods stand out for me and Muse is the only band I want to see live (being old and autistic now)

    Ian Dury was the original 'disability game-changer' 😉

    (Albus, no idea why Paramore didn't do it for me but daughter loved them and we had a lot of fun changing volume buttons!)

    Looks like you've got some good suggestions so far! My partner likes a band called Bayside that are sort of punk/rock. He really likes the song Enemy Lines in particular. I can't remember how he found them but they're not very well known in the UK, could be worth a listen!

    Sorry for the late reply @FallOutBoyfan99 I had a few days off. Yes I am a Harry Potter fan, my dogs name is Albus Grumblebork. :)

    @WhatThe I do love a bit of Sleaford Mods! I'd love to see them in a small venue one day.

    The real question is 😉did anyone listen to { and dance to ) 'Big 7' and the other 'Bigs' lol 🤣😁 I recently listened to them on Alexa and sent links to my two 40 plus year old Daughters haha, they were shocked to say the least. I told them yours and following generations were not the only music that was 'naughty'. Listening to them for the first time in ( its a secret } years made me chuckle and sorry yes I did sing along lol. Oh I loved the 70's, wish I was back there, was listening to all sorts over a few days to try and drag my butt out of the doldrums and it helped a lot, I played ''baggy trousers'' full blast 😁. My 17 year old Grandson loves Paramore and he is getting a bit punky with metal thrown in there too.

    I take it that's the Judge Dread 'Bigs'? Prince Buster's Big Five gave me a chuckle when I first heard it on vinyl about 20 years ago. 😄

    Hi at OverlyAnxious yes Judge Dread lol 😁 they all make me laugh, some are better than others of course. Yep I have vinyl originals as they were banned on the radio etc, shame as as much as they were a little out there should we say, I thought they were real fun and fab when everyone danced to them at clubs. Not sure my parents ever heard them 😁I think I played certain records at low volume lol. I have a lot of 70's vinyl's, 45's and Lp's, my Grandson loves going through them and playing them even the soppy ones haha. I was a real mixed bag in my teens during the 70's. I did the Bay City roller tartan thing then as a later teen it was Dr Martens, two tone stay press trousers, Crombie coat and ben Sherman shirts. Then I guess I had to grow up lol and become a lady hahahaha.
