Local punk bands -- the kind of Green Day punk you'll hear on MTV or even Nickelodeon, that is. Melodic pop feel to most tracks, lots of high-school poetry lyrics. Bands are tight (you could also say the production is overly slick). They're looking for record deals, basically, so most (BUT NOT ALL) tracks are FCC-clean, ready-for-TV pop. All fast.
Pleasant stuff, and they all seem like nice kids. But don't come here looking for any hardcore.
Closer to actual punk -- 1, 11, 21, 22
1- *FCC* Fast edgy punk w/sugary middle
2- Mid/fast, bubblegum with a bit of edge. Tight harmony vox.
3- Fast, minor key, singalong punk
4- Mixes a pop song with shrieks of Metal.
5- Pop, mildly edgy, catchy
6- Pop, big sound with punch
7- Acoustic guitar, violin, cello! Bubble-gum vox.
8- A bit folky. Fast with slow interludes.
9- *FCC* Acoustic strumming, mid/fast pop
10- Super catchy pop. Fake British accents.
11- Mega fast and heavy
12- Pretty chords, teen-poetry lyrics
13- Poppy, repetitous
14- *FCC* Richly poppy. Showy guitar solo
15- A "classic rock" feel, really catchy. Nice.
16- Mid/fast pop
17- Faux toughness, female vocal, and a mini-rap
18- Fast kiddie pop, good harmony vocs
19- Fast w/dirty sound. Yngwie-wannabe solo
20- Bit of a darker sound
21- Fast and tumbling, more of a punk edge. Surprisingly clean.
22- *FCC* Superfast screaming hard-edged punk punk
23- Dark, heavy, fast. Singalong chorus.
24- Punk lullabye: Lotsa guitars, pretty chords
