I’m still new to the punk scene, and I was looking for some lesser known, music recommendations. Stuff that is known in the punk community, but not totally mainstream. Some of my fav punk bands are the suicide machines, NOFX, the Dead Kennedys, Rise Against, rancid, and teenage bottle rocket. Any recommendations?

I’m looking for some good ska albums, because I’m still pretty new to the scene. I like bands like reel big fish, the suicide machines, and less than Jake. What are some Mount Rushmore ska albums that I should listen to?

I’m writing some Midwest emo songs, and I’ve realized 2 of them, and I was wondering if anyone has tips for this genre. I just wanna write better songs than I do currently, and stuff that’s fun too. I’ll attach some of my lyrics, looking for some feedback

From the way you talk about me
To the storm behind your eyes
I can tell that we’re done
And we’re through
But goddamnit I’m gonna miss you
I love how you looked into the windows of my soul
You told me everything was ok
And that everything is alright
You lied to me and my face
You lied about all of that
You lied about how you love me
Now all I see is a hurricane, when what I wanna see  is a summer nights storm

This is the second song I released

And I’ll keep
Fucking up
Just like I always do
It aint that big of a deal

And the way I stay up late at night
Thinking about someone who
Hasn’t thought about me in months
Laying alone in bed
I think to myself
This might be my last summer alive

The way you chew me up and
Spit me out
Always leaves me beggin for more
You know I love how you
Keep me on a tight leash
And keep me hooked
Even though you use me up
And crush me down
Like cigarette butts
Except they get more dignity

And I’ll keep
Fucking up
Just like I always do
Its starting to seem like a big deal
The way I disregard the past
And ignore the all the signs
Telling me to stop and slow down
I’ll keep fucking up
Cause its what I do

Late at night
When no ones around
I cry myself to sleep
It helps to ease my pain
The pain of being a burden
To my family
To my friends
To you, my love

This is one I want the most feedback on, and it’s one I’m excited to record and make

I left my redbull in the back of your car
You know that shits expensive
5.99 for an 8 ounce
I think I was ripped off

Verse 2
I can’t wait to run away from home
Escape together into the night
Watch a meteor shower while we drive away
I can’t wait for the rest of our lives

Chorus
But when I’m with you
Nothing feels off
I feel like I’m right at home
It’ll just be us, against the world

This third one I also really like and fw

I’m having a very intense hunger for New York style pizza. What’s the best place where I can get good ny style?

I’m look for some trick recommendations. I’m still a beginner rider, and I have flyouts, bunny hops, and overall bike control down, and rn I’m working on fj tailwhips, and fly out 180s. I’m trying to work my way up to double peg grinds by the end of this year maybe, and I’m looking for some trick recommendations to try so I can expand my collection of lil tricks I have rn

Hi, my name is Grady, and I am the lead singer, drummer, guitarist, and bassist for the band Wildflowers Among Weeds, a local Midwest emo band, and I’m looking for a drummer and bassist so I can start gigging and get my band out there. If you just wanna gig, that’s fine, but I mainly wanna expand my band, and get out in the community to start playing live shows, and get more music out there. I have one single out, and another out soon, and I’m about halfway done recording an EP, and I want more brains and eyes on this project. HMU if you’re interested, or know someone who is so we can hopefully start playing live soon
