Roast me for not knowing the entire history of punk but I got into Bad Religion in high school and absolutely love them. I love bands with a fast base/drum and melodic harmony fast lyrics. I really enjoy dead kennedys,pennywise,anti flag and prohoghandi (first two albums mostly). I also really like the descendants too. What political punk (or any kind really!) or other genres give that high energy feeling while still being thoughtful in lyrics (my absolute favorite part of these songs).
I appreciate any suggestions or ways to identify this niche/genre so I can find more stuff similar:) thanks a ton!
also if you are down for something more extreme check out discharge. tho they are this weird mix of punk and metal. very political tho
