What punk rock band do you think would be a good fit for Warhammer?
Lovely question! I'm gonna assume you mean 40k since I have never posted anything about Fantasy. Also idk if punk rock would even fit there lol.
I have actually thought about this a lot since my Psyker Harald''s style is based on punk rock. And while I tap into many music genres, I rarely attach myself to a band or artist. I can easily pick out songs for this question but bands? So I did a bit of research for this one. I'll try my best but bear in mind, this is based on very limited knowledge of an amateur :'D
If there's someone out there who's into Warhammer 40k and punk rock, feel free to tell me some of your picks in an ask cause I always love to broaden my musical horizon~
Since 40k is futuristic, industrial and gothic in setting, I thought that would take inspiration on the music, tho the classic punk rock and variations of such would also work. I imagine depending on where you are in the universe there's very diffrent sub genres. Overall punk rock was always anti-establishment and 40k is built as an insane establishment so the critics and the ones edging heresy would surely flock to the punk rock genre.
Ideally I would imagine classic punk rock with touches of grunge, industrial, techno and maybe even the gothic holy music touch tho perhaps people would rather want to turn away from the holy chants for the Emperor. Or parody it. Who knows.
Unfortunately I haven't found exactly THAT but instead of one, here's 5 bands that to my limited knoweledge come close to some of the vibes I mentioned:
The Varukers - Started punk rock, went into thrash metal later, the themes they sing about are mostly anti-government and anti-war which like, yea.
WWW - It's more synth punk and weird but I think it fits perfectly to the more tech influence punk rock could have in 40k (like imagine the singers all with masks or rebreathers).
SPECTRES - More goth or post punk but especially Hindsight fits the vibes very well.
The Expelled - I don't necessairly have a good reason why they fit but vibes, man.
The Green Demons - Punk rock with many subgenres here and there, most of their songs have this haunting background vibe to it like you would play punk rock in a cathedral with a bit of punk unusal instruments aand some tech too.
#I turn every ask I get into an essay#since asks keep coming I assume ya'll like that hahaha#I am but a beginner#ask me anything

* * * i hate hot topic because it makes it seem like punk is a glamourous thing, more like a fashion and thus a joke than something that the true punks are passionate about. they take bands like blink 182 and mxpx, at the drive in and good charlotte, and call them punk, when they're nothing more than boi bands with guitars. in my view, it's making a mockery of the entire scene, making glittery sid vicious shirts when he couldn't even play bass, and using the word "punk" as an excuse to mass market a lifestyle and make a fashion statement. the issue on prefabricated bondage pants is the same - it's something that i've done for years, something i've spent countless hours working on. i was proud of my results, and then a bunch of teenyboppers pay $70 and buy pretty much the same thing that i had put so much effort into, not really knowing or caring why, just using it as an excuse to be trendy. personally, i know for a fact that if i was a prep or this proverbial 'trendy' that everyone finds so fascinating, i would hate punk, and even hate 'punk rAWk'. think about it - what do these people *really* know about punk? they haven't been to the shows, they haven't felt the closeness and the unity of a crowd for the varukers or beat the shit out of each other in the name of the vandals - that might tear their $50 shirt or $550 pants - or god forbid, scuff their $4500 combat boots. why? because true punk is dirty and disgusting... but what would that sell? hot topic and their allies have to glamourize it, find something in it marketable - preps like SHINY STUFF ... safety pins and studs are SHINY ... WE HAVE FOUND OUR HOT NEW PRODUCT!... NEW and IMPROVED culture! * * *
* * * i think that's what gets to me the most - if the preps want to convert to punk rockers, i have no problem, (the more the merrier, rite?) but they're only doing it because it's the new "in" thing and don't really know much about the culture in general. half the "punks" i see are clad in glittery vicious shirts, purple plaid dogpile bondage pants with sparkley studded bracelets and belts, and yelling "PUNK ROCK" when the only bands they know are emo. emo isn't really that punk, it's like a punk version of country - "my girlfriend left me and now i'm going to sing this song so the world will know who woeful i feel." granted, i do like a BIT of emo, but if i didnt listen to oxy and gbh and the fits and unseen and such, i wouldn't wanna run around telling people i'm punk rock just because i like the ataris. i beat the fuck out of ppl like that. i think hot topic kind of spawned the whole trend simply because it is a trendy store, preps go in there, see something that's trendy, and buy it. it's meaningless to them, just a fashion statement, and hot topic has pretty much made it as such, as they enlist the help of MTV and M2 to spread the word that this is the next big thing. come on people, step up and say OI - don't buy your identity at the mall! * * *

Heyo! Been a while since I thought about your au and I'm curious about what the first band Duckworth introduced Donald to was
Duckworth brought Donald home from the hospital and immediately played him "How Does It Feel?" by Crass, "Kick Out the Tories" by the Newtown Neurotics, "Thatcher's Fortress" by the Varukers, and "Maggie Maggie Maggie (Out Out Out) by The Larks. He sweetly whispered to him, "I'll teach you to headbang just as soon as you develop the muscles that let you do so, poppet."
#duckworth: i will raise a baby that hates margaret Thatcher so much#duckworth grew up in working class london he hates margaret Thatcher with a passion#and loves punk music that trashes her#LDU#loots duck universe

G.B.H - give me fire _ No Survivors(1989) on Clay Records
Charged GBH, commonly known as GBH, are an English street punk band which was formed in 1978 by vocalist Colin Abrahall, guitarist Colin "Jock" Blyth, bassist Sean McCarthy (replaced by Ross Lomas after two shows[1]) and Drummer Andy "Wilf" Williams. GBH were early pioneers of English street punk, often nicknamed "UK82", along with Discharge, Broken Bones, The Exploited and The Varukers. GBH have gone on to influence several punk rock musicians.
The name GBH was inspired by then-bassist Sean McCarthy's trial for grievous bodily harm. Though the core line up of Colin, Ross and Jock has stayed the same throughout their history the drum stool has been occupied by a number of incumbents following Wilf's departure after the Midnight Madness and Beyond album and Oh No It's GBH again 12" ep. 1986 saw the arrival of German drummer Kai Reder who played on three albums and an EP (No Need To Panic, A Fridge Too Far and From Here To Reality, as well as the "Wot A Bargain" 12"), Kai was then replaced by American, Joe "Fish" Montanero for one album (Church of The Truly Warped), this was the band's last release for the Rough Justice label. The drum stool was then occupied from around 1994 by former Bomb Disneyland/Bomb Everything drummer Scott Preece, who has remained to this day and played on all releases since.

All this music’s gone to my head. The old man shouts get out of bed. You know something son, Punk ain’t dead. Punk ain’t dead, Punk ain’t dead.
Someone said Punk is dead. Bring him here and we’ll smash his head. People thought that we’d gone away. But we’re here and we’re here to stay.
Last night i was in a club. Saw a band called the UK Subs. Next on was the fucking Damned. Fucking hell, the place was crammed.
Don’t believe what the papers say. They all reckon we’ve gone away. Why don’t they open up their eyes. See they’re writing lies, lies, lies.
