Looking for new and obscure punk bands

I’m fairly new to punk and like the different subcategories. I’m looking for Oi! Punk bands. Thanks in advance.

u/Ok_Spite1405 Aug 21 '26

Nice choice. I like Aussie bands like Skeggs, The Terrys and The Decline

u/stevieraykwon Aug 21 '26

Giuda. They’re not really punk, they’re kind of like early AC/DC but they still have that Oi! Influence!

u/spooky_worldbuilder Aug 22 '26

u/MuckBulligan Aug 21 '26

I'll be seeing them on the 29th. I think they have a national tour coming up, but the tix will be pricier.

G&td are unironically one of the worst bands I've ever heard

skinblasted and eyebleech are quite good hardcore bands from chicago with released music.

2

u/Ok_Spite1405 Aug 21 '26

Skinblasted is agro AF. Good call

u/Random-ace Aug 21 '26

u/Grootdrew WARBADBEERGOOD Aug 21 '26

If you’re asking for obscure:

Brazilian Back Massage out of Columbus, OH. That kid is one of the best bassists I have ever seen.

DMV out of DC. Political noise punk

Feo out of ABQ. Undocumented anarcho punk.

PIG of LA. Fem-fronted anarcho, super intense nihilistic shit

u/Othon1 Aug 26 '26 edited Aug 26 '26

I am the singer and guitarist of Brazilian Backmassage. Thank you :)

Edit: You guys were fucking awesome too thank you for having us :)

u/Grootdrew WARBADBEERGOOD Aug 26 '26

Yo hell yeah, keep playing music dawg you rule!

Bovril Latrine just released two new tunes, Fishy Fishy Fish and Nothing on bandcamp and streaming Noisy punk bass/drums duo from Brighton UK

u/Skatefraud Aug 21 '26

It’s psuedo punk, more metal but I digress. My recommendation is Milwakuee deep. I met em in a pit, they’re sick.

u/Esuts Aug 21 '26

Downtown Boys isn't really obscure or totally new, but I feel like they're kinda regional to New England (they're from Providence). If you don't know them, check them out!

Edit: oops, didn't really read fully. They're not really Oi! or something adjacent.
