11th hour stubble Agree.
The weird punk mix in youtube reminded me that indeed my band originally tried to sound like those bands. This is because we liked them, and to some extent I still do! However, we failed miserably. Unable to record the "right" shit fi, use delay on vocals, no access to even remotely decent gear, etc. Probably my band is just as much of a relic of that era as the others, but we did evolve a bit and sounded less like those groups (just more like others, although at a certain point we stopped talking about influences altogether and just were making stuff).
The true standouts of that era: tyvek, home blitz, ... already had a different sound then, and continue to evolve even more.
