New Punk.

Check out Sick of it All, they aren't new by any stretch of the imagination, but they are my favourite band of all time, have had the luck to actually catch Lou Koller and get some banter the last 3 times Ive seen em :)

Also, check out the tribute album that was released for them, there are ALOT of major bands on it :D

Also, not new, but Bouncing Souls, Ignite, Slapshot, Agnostic Front, 7 Seconds, Judge, Bold, Chain of Strength.

If you like Comeback Kid, check out Champion (tho they are sadly no longer together).

Not mentioned, but check out the Voodoo Glow Skulls too if you aren't familiar.

Also, for some other ska and mixed stuff:
Link Removed (they mix some rap in with ska, works surprisingly well)

Link Removed (good ska with some heavier beats, Anthropology is a favourite tune right now)

Link Removed (al good weegie Ska!)

Link Removed (not Ska at all, but some good Ol' Punk)

Link Removed (weegie pop punk)

Link Removed (more scottish punk, but they need better recordings, great live band)

Link Removed (some band that needs better recordings and to actually start gigging again)

Link Removed (some classicmelodic H/C)

Link Removed ( I saved this one til last, I went to school with the singer and guitarist, these guys are an amazing ska-core band, check them out!!)


Infact, I want to strongly recommend the final three links there (even if one is a shameless plug [and it isn't for the one with the guys I went to school with]) ! Tho please do give them all a listen :)
 
Going through iTunes, I have some pretty disparate stuff under punk/hardcore, from very poppy '77 UK stuff, do very harsh early-80's Swedish stuff and beyond.

The Gaslight Anthem is the best band you have never heard of.... also Tim Armstrong is doing some great stuff. The "A poets life" album with the Aggrolites was killer.

At The Drive In

Avail

Propaghandi

The Terror are a good new school band that plays old school hardcore.


pretty much anything on Victory records.
 
...What are some new punk bands (new as in starting in the past 10 or so years) you guys are spinning?

I've been on a hardcore kick lately, so I really like Rise Against, Strike Anywhere, Comeback Kid, and Gallows. Also, I think the only ska-punkers left that aren't riding the mid-90s reunion tour circuit are Streetlight Manifesto, Big D and the Kids Table, and The Aggrolites. If you guys could recommend any new ska bands, that'd be cool too.

I just have been hard pressed to find stuff outside my little world of punk (80s hardcore, EpiFat/ 90s punk, and the 70s originals). Any expansion to my music collection would be great :)

For ska check out Chase Long beach. A little poppy I know but still a great band.
