Hardest Pop Punk Bands

I think it's more a comment on the fact that pop-punk can't be 'hard'. By definition, it's sort of friendly and cuddly.

Aye, that's what I'm getting at!

Nothing against the genre at all, but it's very mild, inoffensive, harmless stuff and not punk in the slightest if you ask me. It's just pop with a bit more emphasis on guitars. It makes me think stuff like Bad Religion, which again, is no problem. I think "Against The Grain" is a great LP, a great pop LP.

:up:

NFG for the obvious hardcore influence

Dillinger Four

Movielife

Crime In Stereo (though that's kind of pushing the boundaries of "Pop-Punk")

NOFX

Descendents

Millencolin

There's also a bunch of bands such as Dag Nasty, Pennywise & Lifetime hat walk a very thin line between pop-punk & melodic hardcore.

Yeah I'd agree, Dag Nasty are ace, spose you could include bands like Naked Raygun then too... A lot of the No Idea / Lookout / Asian Man Records stuff also like Gunmoll, Crimpshrine, Tuesday, Grabass Charlestons, The Broadways > Lawrence Arms, Methadones, Lillingtons?. How to clean everything by Propagandhi would be a prime example, Latterman, Osker at times, No Fun At All...

Also some awesome UK stuff: THE STEAL + You Me & The Atom Bomb + The Cut Ups

I must admit that this was the stuff that sprung to mind when reading the first few posts
