I love the Melbourne scene...

 

punk bands in my neighborhood? u must be kidding!

 

My town used to have a larger scene, but it's diminished in recent years.

These are the active bands as of now:
Shank
Thanks
Amerikan Junk
The New Suns

And lots of others that are either inactive at the moment or broken up.

 

I will continue with stuff from my country, even though Denmark have been mentioned before.

Chainsaw Brigade - Crust / HC
Skarpretter - Anarcho
Assassinators - "pop"/punk
City-X
Sods
Bollocks
- All old-school punk bands.
Melting Walkmen - Post Punk
Gorilla Angreb
Knæk og Bræk

 

Just gonna put up a couple of my favs from chicago checkem out!!!!

http://www.myspace.com/kataplexy (death metal, not anarcho but just awesome)

http://www.myspace.com/krangcrustards (if you wish disrupt was together this is for u)

http://www.myspace.com/expendableyouth5 ( awesome melodic-metallic crust sooo good)

www.freewebs.com/securicor (really good thrashing punk)

 

Hey ungovernable, are you familiar with bands from Ottawa as well? Stuff like Critical Convictions, Germ Attak, H.O.P.E., Take One For The Team (which I'm pretty sure is defunct now, but whatever), and stuff like that? And do you like Omegas?

Stuff from near me... these are hardcore bands from Toronto, although I'm not in Toronto myself. It's just the nearest big city.

http://www.myspace.com/urbanblight (Really good!)

http://www.myspace.com/molestedyouthhc (I've seen them many times and I like them)

http://www.myspace.com/schooljerks (Kind of stripped-down hardcore)

http://www.myspace.com/reprobateshc (I have their Stress 7" and it rules)

http://www.myspace.com/urinarytract (I've never seen them live, but I'd like to)

Plus the obvious Toronto bands like Brutal Knights, Terminal State, Career Suicide, etc. and many more good bands that I didn't list due to laziness.

Toronto has a burgeoning hardcore scene, which is pretty cool actually. Most of the bands have a good sound and put on a good live set. It just sucks having to take the train to see a show, then having to leave after the second band because the last train leaves at midnight.

 

Long Branch New Jersey is pretty fucking badass for the fact that our early 80s scene was, and still is one of the best in history, the scene here was built upon D.I.Y. and alot of the people from back then still put shows on all the time.

Chronic Sick
Fatal Rage
Genocide
The Worst
The Beast
Ripping Corpse
Shrapnel
Dirge
Send Help
Lethal Aggression
Adrenaline OD
Mental Abuse
Secret Syde
are the big players from the original scene around here, currently theres a few
Sex Zombies
The cranky ugly mother fuckers(ex the beast/ripping corpse/the worst)
World of shit/Cocytus(Featuring me and the guitar player from Chronic Sick)
A.S.D.(old bassist and drummer from World of shit)
Sacrificial Blood(old bassist from world of shits thrash band from a few years ago)
Graveyard School
Our scene has always been pretty small, but weve always had some of the best musicians around, and the most sought after records on collectors want lists.

 

are their any good local referance points u can go to too search the scene maaan?

 

Mine? Just type in any of the bands and Blogspot download to find most of the bands stuff.
