Trendy Punks Fuck Off I bought this week's issue of Kerrang magazine because the headline caught my eye. Punk Rock Takes Over The Planet. Oh good thought I, some updates on The Distillers perhaps ? Album news for Rancid maybe ? A career retrospective of The Dead Kennedys or GBH ? I opened the pages, skimmed through and was vastly dissapointed. Kerrang, who have gradually become the establishment they once railed against, now reckon that this bunch of posuers and eye-liner addicts are actually punk........ Atreyu , mostly talentless. Panic! At The Disco , bloody emo shite. Taking Back Sunday, as above, but even more shite. Thrice, oh come on now, this is taking the piss. Lostprophets, should I laugh or cry when K calls these boys punks ? Angels And Airwaves, oh dear, if you thought that Blink 182 were punk the AvA might just be the same, if on the other hand you thought that Blink 182 should be dropped from a great height into a set of revolving blades........ My Chemical Romance , coporate whores. I've been ripped off, there's not a punk band in sight, just a load of wannabe stadium rockers with all the punk credentials of Tony Blair, give me my money back!
