Give me all of your Long Island and NYC punk bands you can think of. I’m looking for bands that would have played with bands like Zombie Vandals in a storage unit. Punk music is hard to dredge up enough on its own, but trying to dig up punk bands on the tail of the punk scene - from LI…it’s a hard job for 1 person.

The Skum, Endangered Feces, Jones Crusher, The Oblivious, Eyes Of Hate (NYC), Two Man Advantage; just to name a few (these are early 2000s and bands I'd regularly go and see on the island 😂 ). My old brain can't remember how many of them played shows with the Zombie Vandals but it was along that timeline

Patent Pending
More pop punk. Their album Patent Pending is your Biological Father is still a banger and I still listen to it.
I remember going to a bunch of their shows in like 04-05 as a middle schooler. There was one show where they were like 3 hours late. A bunch of people left but a few of us teenagers were bored so we just hung around the venue. Eventually they showed up and put on a show for like the 4-5 of us that remained. One of the best nights of my life lmao.

Two man advantage, Plimpton 32, Pegleg, varsity felix, beers on joe, Outta Luck, Evil Olive, and there's tons more I'm probably forgetting. Most of these are more pop punk but I still enjoyed them back in the day

Striped Bastards, The Disenchanted and all of the other wonderful Traffic Violation Records bands. I remember being 14 and calling the guy to see if he had a copy of The Checkerboard Charlie 7" and he found the last one in his closet. I mailed him a money order and I got the record a month later.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I feel very old... and cool.
