Lately I've been trying to expand my music library to go beyond gaming music, techno, alternative rock, and metal. I have had the same playlist for a couple years now and wanted a different style of music.
I've listened to all sorts of new music (including stuff people have posted here) and one of my new favorite styles I've come across is 'punk'.
Out of all the punk bands I've added to my playlist my most favorite one has to be 'Blink 182'. For those of you who don't know, Blink 182 is a fairly popular punk band from the early and mid 1990's.
they're like pop-punk right? because i associate that more with bands like paramore, we the kings and hey monday. I like all of them, i just somehow think blink-182 and green day are less poppy.
Husky if you like Blink, you should check out the members' post-Blink and side projects:
Boxcar Racer Angels and Airwaves +44 (the best of the bunch by far)
Also, if you really want a kick go find Blink's first-ever album Buddha. It's composed of demos and very early recordings, and their singing is so much worse (hard to believe I know) than on their studio albums. Hilarious stuff, and there are one or two listenable tracks too.
Blink was one of my most played bands all through high school, but I think I've outgrown them because I keep down-rating their songs in iTunes so they'll leave my iPhone, and they are slowly dropping in my most played artists list. Good stuff though, one of my staple bands.
