 Topic: Progressive Punk?
Posted: May 06 2005 at 18:32 |
Has there ever been a progressive punk band? I know progressive and punk kind of contradict each other, but I think a progressive punk band would be cool. I guess the Mars Volta is the closest to progressive punk.

I guess, you should stop guessing.
Progressive Punk is as clear an oxymoron you are going to find in music.

Well Mars Volta would be as close as you could get to progressive punk
and that is only becuase they have punk roots and reviews will tell you the same. I personally don't agree
with them, but I know kids who will attend a get-up kids concert and
then drive home listening to Mars Volta.....I dunno.

direction of punk, their albums are extremely technical and very
punk..but for the life of me i cant remeber the groups name

Haha, I knew I shouldn't of said that on a prog forum. The Get-up Kids
are some emo/punk band. I was saying that kids who love those kind of
bands listen to Mars Volta as well.

Obviously because the members of the Mars Volta used to be in an emo-like band called At The Drive In.

Peter Hammill's Nadir's Big Chance has a punk feel at times. In fact, some have suggested the origins of punk in the UK could have originated by Hammill's Nadir's Big Chance.
I would say, While 2-3 songs are somewhat punkish, the idea of Nadir's Big Chance being the origin of punk is complete bunc...but maybe you might want to check it out yourself. Great lp.

I think Punk is the ultimate form of progressive rock.
no structure, completely loose, ever changing time-signatures.

I'd recommend Television's "Marquee Moon" and Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation".
Punk was liberating for people who wanted to make music, and some managed to turn that inspiration into a 'progressive' approach...despite often lacking prog's esteem for virtuosity. So the genres may not so opposite as some would have you believe.

Yes, they are. I blame Punk for destroying the "classic prog scene".

It's a good thing we have punk to blame, or maybe we'd be forced to recognize that the original prog scene was already starting to run out of steam...

Prog's biggest enemy was prog itself. The musicians of that era lost interest and decided to make some money.
