What do you class as older stuff? For me older is like 10 years ago!
I recently bought Wolves in Wolves clothing, I don't think it was as bad as the reviews made out. I was also impressed with Resolve by Lagwagon last year, so there are still some bands at the poppier end of the spectrum writing good music. But listening to the Fat Wreck sampler there's nothing really that should be on a punk label.
Speaking as a "brit", theres so much patriotism here, especially with the world cup on, if anyone wore a "God save the Queen" patch, they would probably just be mistaken as overly nationalistic! But is this the reason punk is fading? A culture that promoted non-conformity, but ended up conforming to itself?
I can't say I've noticed bands faking a "british" accent, but then I probably wouldn't, having one myself. Is it something to do with the fact that pretty much any singer puts on an american accent, but british punk bands make a point not to?
