This is undoubtably a different brand of "punk rock" from the list and will swing poppier. To me, it's also more digestible lyrically and of course, polished better with modern technology. If nothing else, it will give you a good glimpse into the bands that were inspired by the first punk rockers.

Let me know what works, what doesn't, and I can send as many recommendations as you'd like - similar stuff, or throw you in a new direction.

Listening now… bad religion is my fave from the list so far.
 
I saw these guys open for Mudhoney a few years ago and they were a blast. Sometimes borders on psychedelia and definitely more solo guitar than you're used to with traditional punk but the attitude and feel is there...



Single from the forthcoming album...

They were one of, if not the first and most influential,

Pretty weird to see a NOFX article in the NY Times.

And apparently there's some real tension in the band about calling it quits, as Mike is in a different spot financially than some of the guys. And El Jefe compares the band to the Dead. “At first, we did resent him,” El Hefe said. “We didn’t agree with ending this. We were still making money, we still have an audience, people are still showing up at our shows. Their kids are growing up and coming to the shows. We’re like the Grateful Dead of punk rock.”🤣
