5 Punk Rock Bands To Feed Your Angst

Whether you're in the mood to punch a hole in the drywall (again) or impulsively cut your bangs while screaming in the mirror, these bands have got you covered. Their music is perfect for headbanging, moshing or just speeding down the highway.

1. The Frights

"You Are Going To Hate This" is The Frights second most popular song with over 4.5 million streams on Spotify.

Don't let their name scare you off. This American surf punk band from Poway, CA is the perfect choice for when you're in the mood to be reckless or just jam out to some beachy punk rock music. The Frights are currently on a tour that ends May 24th in Santa Cruz, CA.

2. FIDLAR

"No Waves" is FIDLAR's most popular song with over 14 million streams on Spotify.

YouTube

No angsty playlist is complete without "F*ck It Dog, Life's A Risk", or more commonly known by punk heads as FIDLAR. Their new album, "Almost Free," features bangers like "By Myself" and "Can't You See," both of which have gained popularity with over 2.5 million streams since the album's release two months ago.

3. Fuzz

Just by looking at the album cover art of "Fuzz," you can already tell this band has a great collection of rock-n-roll psychedelic music in store.

YouTube

This headbanging new California American band features a style of hard rock riffs and unique vocals that set them apart from most rock bands. Their sound resembles the '60s psychedelic and metal tunes established by Jimi Hendrix and the Groundhogs.

4. Arctic Monkeys before 2013

"Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" became the fastest selling debut album in English music history, and it contains some of the best songs to rock out to.

YouTube

If you go deep enough into the ever-changing waters of this English rock band, you'll find that the Arctic Monkeys used to have a much more punk style in their music than the sound demonstrated in albums "Tranquility Base Hotel" and "Casino" (2018) and "AM" (2013). Songs like "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor," "Fluorescent Adolescent" and "When The Sun Goes Down" all feature a hard rock vibe.

5. The Garden

YouTube

This cool, experimental punk rock band is composed of Wyatt and Fletcher Shears, two brothers who established The Garden in 2011. Their live performances are often unpredictable and entertaining as they implement off the top tricks during their shows. Songs "California Here We Go" and "Egg" are the two most popular created by The Garden and deserve a listen.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
