2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

For punk:
Da Slyme was a punk band from Newfoundland, Canada. About as raw as you can get. Basically a group of dudes in a basement playing into a shitty mic but it’s pretty good music if you can get past the horrible audio quality. Albums were other older albums with their covers stickered over with their own stickers because they didn’t have the money for an actual production. They had a sort of deal with a used record shop in St John’s NL for that. The shop still exists, I’ve been there a couple times, it’s pretty cool. Lots of history there.
I’m not affiliated with them at all, I just think they’re a really cool obscure punk band. My dad actually introduced me to their music. I haven’t listened to them in a while, maybe I’ll play some of their music again tonight.
For other rock:
The Tea Party (also Canadian) has some really cool stuff too. Sort of a blend of western rock and a bunch of middle eastern influences. They’ve been described as “Moroccan roll” before (play on Morocco and rock ‘n’ roll). Their album Edges of Twilight is by far their best work. Check out Sister Awake from that album for a sample of what they do. That’s their best song imo and a good litmus test to whether you’ll like them or not. They do have some more mainstream sounding music too from later albums but it’s not as good imo.
