I was really torn between Exploited or Anti-Nowhere League, but these Scottish buffoons just win the award I reckon. Why? Rubbish like 'Fuck A Mod', 'Fuck The System', 'Fuck The USA' - gee - you boys really know how to swear!! And 'I Believe in Anarchy' is such a short-sighted dumb-ass proclamation - not exactly CRASS was it!! They haven't ever written anything half way decent bar 'Dead Cities'. Clif Hanger from the FREEZE also tells a story about how, on a US Tour, the Exploited goons trashed the rider that was provided for all the bands. Tossers. Mr. Green

That's harsh Scanner!! Laughing

Guess Good Charlotte are too obvious yeah? Okay I vote for either Dwarves or Antiseen - both are sexist, dum-fuck arseholes. But then so are Blink 182, not that those weener boiz were ever really Punk.

I don't mind a bit of Exploited here and there, but yeah I don't take their lyrics too seriously or anything... Wink

Saw/supported the Anti Nowhere League in Chch in November... I enjoyed seeing them live for the first time and thought they put on a good show! Though they seemed rather "rock starish"...that is, they didn't seem very interested in watching/talking to the support bands at all, they just surrounded themselves with groupies! Their gear has "The League" painted all over it... A friend of mine in the UK was telling me about how he pissed them off by writing "Human" on it, before the "League" bit... Laughing

I gave the league shit and they loved it, i saw vids of the exploited and hated it, first album or nufing, The Rabble is by far the worst 'punk' band to come out of NZ bar none, I'm serious.

Yeah I tend to agree with the comments about the Exploited they are pretty shitty I sold the stuff I had by them they just seem like complete munters.

Anti Nowhere League were not bad live when I saw them a bit Lame playing their" Hit song" like three times though and they did act like rock stars.

I think the Rabble do have some good songs but they do some fucking odd things i.e. doing a tour with Goodnight Nurse and Streetwise Scarlet ( High ranking candidates for two of the worst bands in NZ)

Niam

I love Goodnight Nurse.

Also Op Shop are the best band ever.

Blood for Blood. Most arseholic lyrics ever, can't understand why anyone with self-respect would listen and worse, sing along.

A mate back in the UK has a story about ANWL's Animal. Apparently when his band played some show with ANWL on the bill, Animal apparently dropped his whole stash of speed on the floor - and burst into tears. Haha!! Genuine too by all accounts. Hmm.... is this how rumours get started?? Maybe ANWL should have its own thread.

How terrible was The Exploited's Fuck The System album? What a pile of shit. Beat The Bastards had a few good tunes on it.

I think Beat The Bastards is a pretty good album...
