They went a bit soft after that)Iron ChicDear Landlord (More pop punk than post-hardcore, but Dream Homes is a grand record)Banner Pilot (Also pop punk, but gruff and gravelly and good)None More Black (First LP is more 'punk'. They went more 'rock' after that, but it's all good)Maybe even give Bear Vs Shark a go. It's probably more indie-rock, but the guy has got an incredible vocal on him.Theres some great UK bands doing this sort of stuff too:BangersAbove ThemThe AmistadChillertonThe Dauntless EliteMy CD collection is about 50% bands ripping off HWM/Leatherface/Husker Du, so I can reel of a ton more if you need, or make you a Mediafire mix or something.Up the punx.

Soda Jerk Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Forgot about Milloy. Possibly the most blatant HWM ripoff band. Couldn't quite get into the latest record they did though. More Than A Machine is solid though, and the EP before it. Spiders is an awesome song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The Don Ramos Players were also a great UK HWM sound-alike. No idea if they are still going. John, from the above, used to be in Twofold. They sound nothing like what you are after, but were awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 New NOFX - Hardcore Covers EP is pretty not-very-good.Really?? I've been reading awesome things about it. Cokie the Clown and Coaster were both amazing, shit to hear they're off form now with it.I fucking love NOFX. Pump Up The Valium is a great record. So is So Long and Thanks For All The Shoes.Also, Alkaline Trio are the greatest band in the universe. If you disagree you're a peadophile.Good Mourning is in a similar vein to HWM, they also did a split 7" with them which is fucking AWESOME! HWM covering Radio is epic!But yeah, the Trio back catalogue varies a lot from really poppy to really dark so give them a listen if you've not heard much more than the singles.The new record, Damnesia, is fucking amazing too. All acoustic covers of old songs with a couple of new folk-pop type songs thrown in. Bliss.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cokie the Clown and Coaster were both amazing, shit to hear they're off form now with it.I like all the bands they cover, but they are pretty like for like covers. They don't make much of an effort to NOFX-it-up.I was just underwhelmed listening to it. I'm sure some/lots of people will love it though.

Old Gold Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 That's a shame. Coke the Clown was the best NOFX I'd heard in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah, and Coaster/Frisbee was a really strong album. It's not really a case that NOFX have lost it though...It's just a covers EP. They are covers that sound like Agnostic Front or D.O.A, not 'original' cover versions.NOFX are still a great bunch of lads and I wish them all the best.

Soda Jerk Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Haven't really cared for NOFX material for a long while. Pump up the Valuum had great songs, but had alot of guff too. Didn't like much after that. War On Errorism was horrid.I think the Surfer 7" was the last thing I really liked. I wish all their albums were like that.
