Short lived but great. A decent mix of punk and ska!

Some p-rock favs:

YouTube - Hopskotch

YouTube - WAKE UP "Uncle Brian"

YouTube - Whitmore - Alison

YouTube - Rocket from the Crypt - On A Rope (Guy from Drive Like Jehu)

YouTube - King Prawn - Dominant View

I loved that band Whitmore. The riff from their song used as the p-rock theme tune was quality.

I actually think I have that Whitmore single kicking about somewhere! Whatever happened to 4ft Fingers aswell? Infact what happened to the thousands of regular touring pop-punk and ska bands in the UK!

Really? I thought Uncle Brian and Whitmore were two of the worse popular UK punk bands, along with 4ft Fingers, Graveltrap, Mixtwitch and Gash.

If your into that stuff though check out quality punk rock action from these bands that are all playing Aberdeen in the next few months courtesy of GFN promotions:

Astpai MySpace.com - ASTPAI - deadman's town, - Punk / Rock / Hardcore - www.myspace.com/astpai (Austria)
Rentokill MySpace.com - RENTOKILL - Vienna - Punk / Punk / Punk - www.myspace.com/rentokill (Austria)
Dirtbox MySpace.com - DiRtBoX - Perth, UK - Punk / Pop Punk / Rock - www.myspace.com/dirtboxonline
Chief MySpace.com - CHIEF - LIVERPOOL - Punk / Hardcore / Happy Hardcre - www.myspace.com/chiefuk
Grown At Home MySpace.com - GROWN AT HOME (NEW LINE UP and STUFF!!) - Stone, UK - Ska / Punk / Showtunes - www.myspace.com/grownathome

Grown at Home are the band that fit that old P-Rock sound with their poppy 3rd wave ska sound but it's hard not to love them. They are fantastic, as are the rest of the above links.

4ft Fingers are still on the go, released a new album last month.

Seeing that song mentioned in this thread seems very wrong. Better than 98% of the pish that was on P-Rock. In fact I don't remember ever seeing it on that channel.

I certainly remember Mixtwich and Gash. I was never big into Whitmore (the single isn't my copy!), quite liked 4ft Fingers at the time though.

I'm glad to hear all these bands are still on the go though, I thought they'd all been wiped out!

Yeh, wasn't totally sure about that one! Rocket From The Crypt are an awesome and pretty seminal Punk band, not totally sure if the rest of them are really viewed in the same light!

4ft fingers were ace, that song emergency manoeuvre i think was one of my fav punk songs a few years back.

[Shaki]

That reminds me of my Uni heydays when I'd watch the same revolution of ten songs from 7pm-4am instead of doing my thesis. It also reminds me of being constantly stoned.

These were my fave's

YouTube - Snuff - Chocs away

YouTube - Tsunami Bomb - Take the Reins

YouTube - The Ataris - "Teenage Riot"

YouTube - Rancid - Time Bomb

thanks for the memories

[Iomega]

I hate the sound of Rancid now probaly due to time bombs constant rotation on that channel.

[The Kernel Loaf]

I remember they used to play a lot of Voodoo Glow Skulls videos.
