Midtown was a punk band from 1998-2005 based in New Jersey. The lead singer eventually formed Cobra Starship, another band that never really clicked for me.

Yeah cause Cobra Starship blows.

 

[Ceremony]

I dunno what to tell you man, they got a punk vibe. Punk is kinda hard to nail down anyway.

I think post-punk revival is the term you're looking for for Bloc Party.

Potayto, potahto...

Nahhh though.

If y'all don't think this isn't pop-punk, I don't know what to tell ya.



Again, I love this kind of stuff. But it sounds punk to me. If this isn't punk at all, neither is The Clash.

I mean, the issue here is you're not handling "pop punk" as the specific (albeit large) genre it is. Post-punk/garage/indie are departures from punk, and as such, punk rock products, but they aren't pop punk.

This is the most trivial thing of course.

There really anything "post" about them to me though. It's still punk. If you want "post-punk" I'd argue bands like New Order and Joy Division were post-punk.

Well I should say post-punk revival. What do you mean, they sound almost completely different from punk.

 

[Ceremony]

You can't say punk, pop punk and post-punk/post-punk revival music all sounds the same because it has the word punk in it. I could give you four other songs from Bloc Party's first album which sound unmistakably 'them', none of which would sound like Banquet or like any kind of punk.

I dunno, they sound like a punk band to me. I was just listening to The Dead 60s earlier today, and they most assuredly were punk/ska. Bloc Party has a similar vibe to my ears. Stripped-down guitar rock with a jumpy pop vibe to it, and a lead singer who's not trying to hit all the right notes.

This is where I'll wave the white flag though. I believe myself to be informed about topics like hockey...not this though.

Music genres are among the biggest quagmires known to dorks.

There are two names who voted for Sum 41 that I don't recognise. They should be discounted from the results.

They voted for Bowling for Soup for ya.

I like it when randos see the threads on the front page or whatever and come vote.

They have wrong opinions.

 

[S E P H]

Bloc Party is a good band, especially considering they used one of their songs in Chuck.
