Much to the chagrin of my co-workers I have been on a Slayer kick recently. Today is the God Hates Us All album.
I don't know what to call the Ramones honestly! Not exactly like any other band. East Coast Garage Rock?
They are Punk Rock. Edit to add.... There are many different sub-genres of punk and there is a lot of cross over... NYHC, Power Pop Punk, Oi, Cow Punk, etc.... The few times I saw them were definitely punk rock shows. Also if you have never seen it, check out the documentary on them, End of the Century.
I am with you. Rexway was a local cowpunk group I used to love. I was at this show in LA, coincidentally.
Good Stuff.... I saw some youtube videos of shows I have seen and they make me feel old..... BTW, this was at the Khyber Pass Pub in Philly, not CBGB in NYC. One of my favorite shows of all time.
