    I really like The Unseen. I think they are a pretty good band. I really don't understand why people say they're not "real punk" or they're "sellouts" or that they are "posers". I really just don't get it. I mean yeah, they did probably change their sound a little bit but many bands do. I mean look at The Exploited, they sound kinda metal now, eh? So please watch this video and if you don't agree with me can you please tell me what I don't see that makes them so un-punk (even though thats not a word). Heres the video:

    Trevor you could just post stuff like this in the 'Chat Box' instead of starting a whole thread about it, can't stand them by the way, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't like them. Just really generic sounding...."government"...."fuck you"...."blah blah blah"... it took me two hours to get my hair ready for the video....etc. etc.

    Yeah... I always forget about the chat box actually, and I also think that posting it as a topic will get more replies. About the hair thing, what about 80s bands? You don't think it took Wattie a while to dohis mohawk? I understand how you say they are kinda generic sounding but that doesn't mean they aren't punk. I don't want to argue but again this is just my opinion.

    Never liked the Exploited at all, but I was really spoiled here in San Diego, a few of our local bands blew a lot of bands out of the water back then and most of them didn't give a fuck what their hair looked like, just posted a 'best of' of Battalion of Saints, check out those old songs if you don't know them...

    Listen some 80's and 70's bands :)
    UK Subs is pretty good , Subhumans, GBH , Braindance , Discharge , Circle Jerks, Bad Brains, The Adicts , The Skeptix ...
    I think that u know most of them , but there might be some songs or albums that u dont know
    P.S: In my opinion GBH's last album is not very good :S

    trevor9849, trying to use the Exploited as a "real punk" example on here is a bad idea...

    I think I've heard that they had sold shoes with their names on when touring Warp Tour. Not sure about this information.

    Dude, I love 70's and 80s Punk! Bands like GBH, Crass, Subhumans, Chaos UK, The Exploited, Sex Pistols, The Germs, Black Flag, Minor Threat, The Varukers, UK Subs, Discharge, Cockney Rejects, and others are awesome. I listen to most of those bands more than I do newer punk.

    The Unseen is shit. I used to like them, back a few years ago (when they werent sellout and still underground) it was one of my top favorite band, but now they are pathetic... They even wrote a song to say "fuck you" to all their fans who say they are selling out (the song is So sick of you). They make a lot of shitty videoclip and they appear on TV everywhere.... Mark unseen became a rockstar. At least he's getting better with his new projects (angry youth, the rabble, etc) but unseen became shit and they changed.
    I remember it used to be a band very chose of their public, they answered every email and all... And when they started selling out and making videoclips i wrote a big e-mail to them. They used to answer all e-mails sent to them but they just ignored me. I was very polite and i just told them my point of view and asked why they make videoclips for the TV, etc... They never answered me...

    That's what §§ and €€ make to our heads , it makes us sick and it makes us think about nothing else than being richer than our neighbours , when they were "poor " and infamous they were nice... when they got their pockets full of money , they no longer needed to be nice, because they could buy some bitch and buy some "friendship" :/

    They're looked down upon here a lot, it seems. Honestly I think it's with pretty good reason (cartoon punks and all, and while they aren't Nazis I guess they're Nazi sympathizers in certain cases and Wattie's a racist), but hey, if you like their music that's all well and good.

    i think its for shock value regarding the exploited, but regardless, Listen to whatever you want, the more you expand your music taste the less bigoted and moronic you'll become. Just because someone says its un-punk or un-anarchist to listen to something doesn't mean you should do what they say.
