Who says punk revival is dead? Well a lot of people given the massive rise in popularity in the 3rd generation of punk – emo punk. The hate of it must go ever on. But then punk revivial isn’t dead. Sure, we’re a long way from the hayday of the 90’s when Offspring and Green Day were at their peak but then both Offspring and Green Day are still producing albums. I wasn’t a massive fan of Splinter and American Idiot was wandering off punk but it was a fantastic album never the less.
Plus many bands only recently started – The Used, Billy Talent (ok, they are slightly emo but still more a punk revival band than an emo punk band) and many more examples that I am not sure of the date of but think they fall into the right category, only made it big this side of the millenium.
Then you get bands like Be Your Own Pet that only recently burst onto the scene but have none of this emo crap, they are punk all the way. They have a female vocalist too which makes them the decond non-gothic rock band to have a female vocalist ever I think :-p). They are even playing in Sheffield. On the same night as The Wendy House! That is just inconsiderate. I mean, what am I supposed to do there?
I could do both possibly. If I got a train back at 10 (the gig starts at 7:30, I presume it will be done by then, although I wouldn’t suprise me if it went on longer, who knows) but that would involve paying for my gig ticket, Wendy House ticket, bus ticket into town, train ticket there and back and taxi fare home. That’s a expensive night even for me. It sucks I can’t go back to Bod, maybe I should have applied to go back a day earlier then I could just crash back there. That said, I don’t know when the 95 starts running again and I wouldn’t have my bus pass anyway.
