Haven't heard of any of the three you mentioned. Have any song recommendations?
Propagandhi is as good as Bad Religion
Refused is a Swedish thrash punk band. They made a couple EPs and albums, then put out their magnum opus, The Shape of Punk to Come, and then immediately broke up. They did get back together a couple years ago, though.
Propagandhi is a Canadian post punk band. They've had a dozen different styles over the years, and nobody can agree on which they did best. Personality I like their heavy Thrash album best, Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes.
Ohhh I'll need to check out more of Propagandhi's stuff if there's variance in style over their albums. I enjoyed their lyrics, but the music style of the stuff I checked out wasn't quite my favorite. Thanks for the comment :)
Propagandhi's lyrics are depressingly accurate in 2026... and much of it was written more than 20 years ago
My favourite is "and we thought that nation states were a bad idea"...(thats the long-ass song title)
I find that so many punk songs can be described this way.
Yes... since as long as i've been listening to punk rock in the early 90s, it seems like nothing has changed.... maybe even gotten worse.
As a youth punk rock made me hopeful. Gave me the sense that other people saw the same problems and writing songs and expressing displeasure.... 30+ years later, i feel like we havent made much progress in our class struggle. The DIY ethic of the 90s seems to be gone. I'm still going to shows with 55 year old dudes singing about their high school girlfriends, lol...
I see glimpses of it coming back! Zines are making a come back, there's newer punk bands joining the scene with fresh voices, and the youth are angry. I think we might be on the cusp of a big punk movement.
I feel you to my soul though. I could've written your comment myself. Coming of age right before the Iraq war and finding punk shaped my entire worldview.
Where can i follow these new, young, whippersnappers?
lemmy communities? Mastodon accounts?
Lambrini Girls just came out with a new album, it's a little green but a lot of attitude.
Amyl and the Sniffers have absolutely blown up over the last couple of years.
Die Spitz is a lot of fun.
Panic Shack is boppy.
There's a punk community on Lemmy but as with anything it's not super active.
When I see Refused I immediately think of their song 'New Noise'
For Incendiary, I think of 'Front Toward Enemy'
I think both of those are probably their most popular songs? Probably for a reason, I'd start there!
Sorry, I should have seen and responded to this sooner.
For Refused - Rather Be Dead, Liberation Frequency, and Thought Is Blood are good starting points.
For Incendiary - Front Towards Enemy, Bite The Hook, and Echo of Nothing
For Propagandhi - essentially anything in their discography is good music and very politically charged. I find anything in their top songs to be good examples.
