punk rock music is so unique to its environment. thereโs a need for deep personal expression within the genre, and thatโs why itโs usually so extremely relatable. so local punk rock bands always feel so real and personal vs only listening to international bands. It might also be the live experience that adds to this feeling of relatability. go to your local punk rock bands performance at that bar in the city!
one of my local favourites (johannesburg, south africa) is club valley. theyโre kind of a mix of different genres. like a blend of punk rock, alternative, and indie. I love going to their shows.
