Victim&Outcasts spring to mind because I listened to them lately. There was actually a book that came out exclusively about irish punk a few years back so its obvious to me that there was probably quite a few good-uns. No I never read it. I should have though. Im not a very fast reader. Maybe I can find it some day with the luck of me irish luckyyyy charmssss.

I'd say the Dropkick Murphys, but they're more punk than garage.  Still good though.

And thanx for all of the other help too...completely forgot about The Urges LP that i bought a coupla years back.

And Bonnevilles, remember checking them out awhile back and dug them!!

Thanx everyone!!!

The Wheels.....that was the band i was trying to think of.......Road Block, killer garage stomp from 66 on Pebbles 6. Thanx for your help Bob!

Plus they have a bunch of other songs on the English Freakbeat and Sugar Cube comps...including Bad Little Woman which is another killer!

Hi. More modern bands like Cheap Freaks / The Things / The Urges / The Revellions / The Bonnevilles / The Mighty Atomics 

60's ireland wasn't the best place for garage punk but the singer from the Count 5 Sean Byrne was from Dublin. Eire Apparent were another psych rock. Dr Strangely Strange were a Cork band. The Wheels from nuggets II comp are from Ireland, songs called bad little woman. If you are scrapping the barrel guitarist from Beau Brummels is Irish! plays the harp on Laugh Laugh! :)

 

 

 

 

 

Might be tenuous in terms of garage (it's really Brit Pop) but Ash have a few decent songs on 1977.

You could try the Golden Horde, 80s band from Dublin with some garagepunk/psych/billy isms.

What Javier said.

I highly recommend some excellent garage/punk/blues by The Bonnevilles (http://garagepunk.ning.com/profile/AndyMotorSounds). Check out The Things and The Revellions as well. Oh, and The Mighty Stef - not so much garage punk, but great for Paddy's Day. Or any day for that matter ;o)

Can't think of any other bands at the moment, will get back if I do.

Hi folks!

I really like The Urges, from Dublin. I recently listened to The Mighty Atomics and they're not bad at all. Hope this helps.

Cheers!

OK, so this year St Paddy's Day falls on a thursday, and coincidentally i do a radio show on thursdays.

Need some recommendations for some Irish garage punk music...got the usual suspects like Them, Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, Boomtown Rats, Radiators From Space, Pogues...

Can anyone suggest some others that i've overlooked? 

Any Irish 60's garage punks you can think of?

I'm interested in 70s punk bands from france that sing in english. Or other foreign bands. I think the accents can put a unique twist on the sound but im far too lazy to translate languages. I like Briard from finland, I think. Recommended by me so you should all buy it, of course.

I can burn dogs cd for stinky toys copy if interested.

I found the Dogs cd used for like 8$. All the notes in the book are in french so maybe its hard to get over here. Id wanna get a StinkyToys cd too. Not easy to find though for a fair price. Im not interested in french hardcore just raw punk type stuff.

When I lived in France as a student about 10 years ago I was looking for 70's punk and found a live comp from '78 called "Rock D'ici A L'olympia: La Nuit Punk De L'olympia" with a few of the bands on that list.  I think a lot of French stuff from that period leans more towards new wave, but some of the artists like Stinky Toys, Diesel and Bijou I remember being pretty cool. And I still gotta check out the Dogs. Anyway, I think you can get "Rock D'ici A L'olympia" here:

Still,  I would give Lydon more credit than McLaren who pretty much is justifiably documented as being a notorious cad.

However I would give McLaren credit for smelling a trend before it blows up.

I think what Lydon says in "the filth and the fury" documentary is basically close to the truth. 

Ultimately we should judge a tree by the fruits. that fruit being the actual output of music. 

nothing else. 

"The real punk movement started in New York and Paris came before the UK because we were really connected to New York..."  Can we at least assume this statement, Unless we redefine "REAL PUNK",  is utter pretentious nonsense?? 

Currently I myself am working on an article about how Motorhead would not have become a band without ABBA winning the 1974 Eurovision song contest.

I was wondering whether someone would give that article a bit of criticism, I'm suprised it took so long. When I was reading it I thought some of the stuff was a bit dubious if not pretentious. Of course I still found it interesting because I knew nothing about French punk before that and now I know a little.

The claim that British punk rock would just be growly men with guitars is pretty stupid. Neither the Sex Pistols or the Clash were really intelectually political, the Clash at the start were angry punks with more social concerns than wider philospising. Perhaps though there might be some truth for bands like Crass, and then stuff like TSOL? Although even there I can't imagine many anti-establishment punks reading anarchist philosophy in French.

But I wouldn't listen to anything Lydon has said, he just talks crap before claiming to have invented anything from pogoing to Green Day.

Wow,  I hardly know where to start with what is fundamentally wrong with this article.

what a long long stretch this writer has made to prove a thesis.  Always a danger when intellectuals and writers try to define musical expression.  No?

""Now deified as arguably punk's most important individual, Malcolm McLaren,""

""US punk "godmother" Patti Smith""

Not hard to find a quote from Mr Lydon refuting both these claims.

I think most would prefer an article on the French punk scene and a list of bands to check out rather than this.

It supposes that punk gets it's meaning from politics. (rather than from the expression of teenagers feeling both alienated and horny)

To quote Marshall McLuhan "the Medium IS the message".

I am sure most  punk rock fans in France would agree.

For everyone complaining about how crap the reverb is, and it is I won't argue, there is a wealth of freeware plugins available on the net. There is a vst plugin available for Audacity so you can run vst's. It just takes looking for them.

Agreed.

.....p.s with the knowledge of most people on here (i.e. recording on the cheap), we could probably write a book ten times more useful and which actually works in the real world! (building my own studio write now, on the cheap)

Reaper fucking rules. I've dumped Pro Tools and Cubase, I just use reaper now. No DAW is ever gonna give the feel as tape.

I use audacity to rip vinyl. It's simple and fast for stereo work. It's not that great for multi-tracking instruments though.
The Branded said:

Have to agree with Johnny, for a cheap fix Reaper is excellent,  I couldnt use Audacity for multitracking, recorded the first Gravemen EP using old Ribbon mics, and old desk, tape echo and Reaper, sounded pretty good. But Tape is still better and if your lucky cheap too! For rock'n'roll Audacity sucks, get Reaper
