Street Level Glam Punk Bands

Recommended Posts

Hey guys - I'm drawing a blank here ... Can someone throw some out some "street level glam punk type" bands that are CURRENTLY ACTIVE??? I'm talking D Generation / NY Loose and Backyard Babies / Dregen / Hardcore Superstar type acts (but would like to focus more on North America). I'm working on something and, well, if I can't think of anyone, obviously nothing will get done ...

 

Thanks

Good stuff all around guys. What I'm actually looking for are POPULAR (or once popular and still pulling crowds) bands in that vein. The obvious ones that I'm just not thinking of - Circus of Power (yeah, I know not glammy, but still ... the whole street thing), Little Caesar, that sort of thing but NEW. Chrome Division or Bullet might be two examples ... D Generation would be the perfect example of what I'm looking for - any others out there????

What is/are DGeneration up to anyway? Man I dug that band.

 

 

What about Buckcherry? They just dropped a F@!k related EP?

 

The D'Molls perhaps? They from the States?

 

Spread Eagle?

 

Get with Mike Hannon, American Dog, certainly time for a Salty Dog reunion.

 

Saigon Kick is supposed to be doing something.

 

Those examples might not be sleazy enough...

Not so much 'street glam punk' but these US bands have reasonable followings...

Station are awesome, but not very vintage, I mean, they are newbies...

 

 

Dave, what say to LA Guns?

 

They can still pull in a crowd and are together in 2 forms.

 

What about Black Tora? They could pull in a crowd and are amazing. Might be a bit too metal though...

 

 

Teaze still play around don't they? You know the band that became Roughhouse.

 

Love/Hate?

 

Dangerous Toys?

 

Jetboy?

Not any more. Last I heard, Tracii Guns finally realized the futility of keeping "his" version of L.A. Guns going so right now the Phil Lewis fronted band is the only game in town (William Shatner voice: "But...for...how...LONG?")

 

Love/Hate?

 

Love/Hate are officially no more as of earlier this year. Jizzy Pearl was gonna release one final EP under the Love/Hate name but as he was the only original L/H member performing on it, he got into a hassle with Skid over the use of the name and he ended up releasing it as a solo joint (pun intended) instead.

 

Warrior Soul?

 

Kory Clarke is about release (or may have already released) a new solo album called "Payback's A Bitch." Not sure what the status of W.S. is as of now.

Tried to work with Kory a couple of years ago on some Warrior Soul dates. Let's just say his self worth is, ummm, inflated.

:)

 

Too bad, but one could assume by his "presence" that he is/could be rather self important... or at least believe his own hype.

 

 

Dave, you mentioned Lil Caesar and I looked 'em up again and it looks like they are still kicking around...

Ta-da ... Terry hit the nail partly on the head, anyway. See, I wasn't thinking of ANY of those bands ... although I have albums from every single one. I was just blanking them all out.

 

Now, to concentrate on the Hardcore Superstar / Dregen's of the world :)

 

But Stateside versions right?

I wonder if this means a return to the project's original synthwave style?

    • New song 'Siren Song'. From Frontiers: Seventh Crystal, who stormed on the melodic rock scene in 2021 since their stunning debut album "Delirium", have announced the release of their third full-length, "Entity". Seventh Crystal took everything up a major level (or two, really), "Entity" sees the bands exploring and expanding different genres, bringing their melodic rock formula, to progressive rock fields, sometimes little heavier and back to their unique rock style. Seventh Crystal is a melodic hard rock band from Gothenburg formed by Kristian Fyhr in 2019. What started as a solo project by Kristian quickly grew into a larger endeavor when Johan Älvsång and Olof Gadd joined the project. Shortly after, Anton Roos and Emil Dornerus also joined the band, completing the initial lineup. In 2020 the band signed a deal with Frontiers Records and released their debut album "Delirium" in 2021, which made waves all around the world. Due to the guitar-heavy parts on the album, the band realized they needed one more guitarist to be able to perform the songs live. Gustav Linde, an old friend of Anton Roos, took on the job, and the band began to work on their slightly more guitar-oriented follow-up album "Wonderland." The album "Wonderland" was released in 2023 alongside the EP "Infinity," establishing the band as an act to be reckoned with. During the fall, Johan Älvsång decided to step aside, and the band continued as a five-piece into the recordings of a third album. Drawing inspiration from a variety of genres, from soft rock to hard-hitting heavy metal, Seventh Crystal showcases a diverse range of musical expression. The band aims to be authentic and serve as an inspiration, outlet, and escape for their audience. Their sound is characterized by bombastic productions, catchy hooks, and dramatic and emotional melodies. TRACKLIST: 1. Oathbreaker 2. Thirteen to One 3. 404 4. Path of the Absurd 5. Architects of Light 6. Interlude 7. Blinded by the Light 8. Siren Song 9. Versus 10. Mayflower 11. Push Comes to Shove 12. A Place Called Home 13. Song Of The Brave    
    • The latest band featured is "Y&T". This is a good one, as always with channel.  On a side note, I'm just thinking that there aren’t too many bands that have a Lead Singer that is also the Lead Guitarist.
