Topic: "Punk Prog??? Posted: June 02 2010 at 20:10
I took the idea to create this topic when i first listen, last week, the band Random Hold. Well, people general associate the "decandence"of prog in early 80´s music with the "rise" of punk and new wave scene. So, punk, for its "simple musical proposal" is seen as a antagonism of "prog virtuosism", wich makes a fusion of the genres improbable. But, back to Random Hold, i have to say thats not a fantastic band, but makes me think about that fusion. I dont know if u have listen to Random Hold, but it is actually a fusion of Post Punk with elements of prog (peter gabriel made an intro for the live album).
I´d like to ask you wich bands do you may consider a fusion of punk and prog.
I remember also that some critcs reviews consider some of the Peter Hammil´s solo albuns, such as Nadir´s Big Chance a kind of proto punk influence.

The Boredoms have a punk aesthetic. And Iceburn (who are not on the site but definitely should be) started out as a hardcore outfit with horns and got increasingly RIO/Jazz-fusiony and generally wierd and spastic.
Also there's a punkish band called Titus Andronicus who just did a concept album about the civil war called The Monitor. Ends with a 14 minute song called The Battle Of Hampton Roads which is very prog, even has a bagpipe segment.
The elephant in the room is Green Day's last two albums which were both concepts. American Idiot has two 9 minute songs, both quite proggy with multiple movements, Jesus Of Suburbia and Homecoming.
Oh yeah, taking the best from both Punk and according Prog genres into raw, wild performance. With even weirder lyrics, which most of you won't (sadly) understand.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

I don't understand them, but they have English translations on their website
