Description:

This one is for all you punk lovers out there. Please send at least 3 punk rock related items to two partners, that way, if you don't like someones taste in music, then you have someone else to fall back on. I don't know about you, but I'm always curious to explore new music and bands that I haven't heard before, or to wax nostalgic for an old song I loved years ago. Items can include:

-7 inch vinyls of your favorite punk band -1"buttons -patches -punk rock mix cd -local show flyers -books or 'zines about the punk scene -stickers -movie or documentary on the punk scene or a band -band t-shirts are always good. Vintage or DIY are acceptable for this swap.

What I don't want included in this swap is "MTV punk" music. Check this out: AVRIL LAVINE IS NOT PUNK. Either is Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, or anyone else that is a bajillionaire and a media whore. Selling out kind of defies the punk rock ethos. If you have questions about any other bands, I would be happy to school you on this matter.

This is a potentially crude swap- if you are offended by "bad" language or radical ideals, then maybe you should elsewhere for a swap.

I'm making this one US only for the time being, as I am cash poor from swapping all the time. If there is a big demand for internationalism, I will arrange something. I truly hate flakers, but I understand that no one is perfect, so don't bother signing up unless you have a 4.75 or above, and no 1's in the past 6 months--and I am being GENEROUS with that. Please don't let me down. NOOBS allowed if you plead your case with me via PM, and have a fully filled out profile. **I DO NOT TOLERATE FLAKING, AND WILL NOT BE BELOW PESTERING YOU :)

goodness, i tried leaving more info and it wouldn't let me! Well, this is international, as I am interested to hear some international punk music, and I HATE flakers, so no 1's in the last 6 months, and no one below a 4.75 rating. Also, I'm going to let the noobs in if they have a full profile, and PM me a plea for their case. I will be monitoring this closely!!!

i really love this new british punk band called LET'S WRESTLE, but haven't seen their stuff in the US. can you help a girl out, punk swappers?

PennyArcade 01/29/2009 #

Kasasha, good question.... "I know a great documentary that i'd love to share, but if i get a partner thats outside the us or canada will they be able to watch it?"

probably not if the dvd isn't regionally coded. What's it called just so we can check it out?

PennyArcade 01/29/2009 #

littleboo: I looked them up on Myspace, and they did'nt have any music posted. I wonder...have they recording anything yet? I bet you could message them to see, I bet they would be honored.

PennyArcade 02/16/2009 #

Cool! It looks like we have a fantastic group for swapping (with one exception, but he who doesn't meet swap criteria will get the boot)

I am super excited for this one, even if it wasn't my "baby"

Kasasha 02/18/2009 #

PennyArcade 02/18/2009 #

most of my stuff is 80s and 70s punk and I have alot of old local flyers from that time. I can't join till I post more swaps out. I will put it on my watch list till than...

JennieHartKawaii 02/28/2009 #

Just got a rating so now I don't feel guilty joining (would love some of those old flyers like Dibrittain has... got a brand new bedroom with walls to decorate XD).

Good News/ Bad News! Depending who you are.... I have extended the date of the swap deadline to April 30th. So, I am sorry for you cats you got stuff out early, and I am saving you who are falling behind. BUT! With this deadline extention, I dont want any late girls or flakers :)

Happy swapping!
