"fun" punk

Sign in to disble this ad
can you recommend punk songs that are "fun"? i dont mean fun to play. what i mean is that riff or vibe that will make you smile. this is a good example:

and its always a blast to play live.

never go wrong with a gang vocal chorus and high speed walking lines

im starting to realize the songs that make me smile tend to have a negative tone to em

I may be a little biased since I wrote the riff (our guitarist plays it better), but this one always puts a smile on my face

Which song? It's definitely not the most original thing ever, but I certainly didn't consciously copy another song.

copies is the wrong word, but here it is, same interval, same rhythm...

the two songs have totally different feel, i just found it funny buddy.

Any good thing I have ever played, has in one way or another been influenced by James Jamerson.
