One of the original, and currently largest, punk communities on Lemmy. The purpose of this place should be obvious from the title. Self promotion is ok, but spam is not, so keep it reasonable.
The goal is to help everyone find new tracks from around the world. Post new music, or your old favourites, but hopefully as you browse the group you'll find something you haven't heard before. Think more crate digging than top 40 streaming services.
Where possible please try to link to Bandcamp, so others can support the bands you love.

It’s time for album club #5! I'm a few days late with this one, and have also decided to switch the format to monthly instead of every 2 weeks. If we start getting more participation I might look at increasing the frequency again.
This week I went with a Canadian classic. D.O.A.'s Hardcore 81. The album that lent it's name to a genre. Released in 1981, this was D.O.A.'s second album. Formed in 1978, by this point in their career the band had already opened for the Clash, and toured extensively around California with some of the other founders of hardcore punk. They would soon lose a drummer to Black Flag, and go through some lineup changes of their own. In the middle of all of that, they released what is likely their best album, Hardcore 81.
This post will stay pinned for a month, in order for anyone interested to leave their thoughts on the album. December 31st will see the launch of Album Club #6.

Thanks for this!
Only discovered D.O.A. a few years ago (thanks to the posts of Vancouverite Philip Random on Metafilter), first time listening to the whole album.
Kind of fun then finally watching some old Vancouver-shot Stephen J. Cannell shows on free streaming, and seeing Wiseguy's Ken Wahl standing in a phone box making a call with a big old D.O.A. poster right by his head.
Maybe time for a drinking game: drink every time you see a D.O.A. or nomeansno poster, flyer or sticker in a Stephen J. Cannell show. (Resulting in Dutch courage to finally smash the state?)
