I work with punkrockers: I know punkrockers; punk rockers are friends of mine. The Drednoks are not punk rockers.
In the 70's 80's and 90's it seemed like all the time, weather it be on CHiPs or on a Chips Ahoy commercial Faux punks were everywhere. See "punky" Chips Ahoy And don't forgett the Faux punks in 'DEATH WISH 3'!! On to the "Splatter punks" of 'Robocop 3' Even the Chipmunks had a "punk" album (Cus' we all know how hard assed Billy Jole covers are) Um...yeah...way to "connect" with the youth guys. These examples are about as hard edged and dangerous as the guys in McDonald's commercials rapping about chicken nuggets. It's just a hazing process that all pop culture phenoms must endure. Some do not survive it (see Disco or grunge). Some do (see Hip Hop). It would be ignorant to think punk would be immune to this hazing. See Pat Boone's 'Tutti Fruti' vs. little Richards 'Tuti Fruti 'for examples of this in other generas While the Drednoks are my personal favorite Faux punks they would still get their asses laughed right out of the squat house. We all know that "real punks" talk about anarchy, but more often than not just get screwed up and fight eachother. Last edited by delta; 12-17-2008 at 06:39 PM.. |

I wouldn't call the 'Noks punk, not even faux punk.
They're a bad parody of a biker gang, who would get laughed out of the bar and then be beaten bloody.

Buzzer hacks US military equipment apart with a chainsaw. Torch is an arsonist. Ripper has an axe-blade on his rifle. Thrasher builds vehicles that can stand up to military hardware off crap he finds in a junkyard.
Yeah, I'd love to see the wannabe anarchists that could toss them anywhere. ;) Edit: BTW, if the 'Noks are inspired by anything it's the Mad Max series. Anybody else thinks it's a coincidence they're Aussies? Last edited by Zefram; 12-17-2008 at 06:26 PM.. |

Hey, you're the one who dragged reality kicking and screaming into the argument when you started the thread comparing them to real punk rockers.
I don't think they even play music, except for Buzzer, who'd probably be a hit sitting in with Jackel. ;) |

REAL Punk Rockers like GG Allin or these wanna be Emo, might as well be Morrisey kids. ahahah
At least The Dread Knocks are cooler than most other toys. The Joes cant be in a squat house either. Squats are for losers that can't grow up and be real people yet still be "punk rock". I'm Punk as fuck. |
