a bit late maybe but if you're looking for recommendations i loooove love skunk anansie :) their album stoosh is suuuuper suuuuper good, the album is more alt rock, but if you're looking for punk songs the opening track 'yes its fucking political' is incredible!!

check out The Brat!! cool Chicano punk band, came about in '79. I've only dabbled in their discography, but their stuff is pretty classic.

i love this list!! they're all so good.

romeo void is a post-punk (new wave? something of the sort.. i think it leans more post-punk) band fronted by a native american woman. they're really good if you've never listened to them.

Good start! Here's some from off the top of my head:

- Straight Line Stitch (metalcore)
- Sevendust (alt metal)
- Krypteria/And Then She Came (symphonic metal)
- Blood Has Been Shed (Mathcore)
- Killswitch Engage (metalcore; 2002 to 2011 with Howard Jones as frontman)
- Sleep Theory (hard rock)

I'll prob think of some more later.
