User blog comment:Cpt. Carebear/Slightly off topic, but what the hell (for metal/@comment-rock fans, i need suggestions)/@comment-1810616-20100112045229

When metal was getting old for me, I expanded to punk rock.

DjuNgleB had good suggestions of NOFX and Rancid but that's more laid back west coast music. New York Hardcore may be more of what you're looking for i.e. Madball, Agnostic Front, Sick of it all.

This stuff isn't complicated as far as music goes. I'm more of a street punk/Oi! fan so I suggest The Casualties; or GBH if you British.
