Later Punk - After 1985 Trivia Questions
1. This is a band who have made it on to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's '500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll'. Which band's name was inspired by a book by Irvine Welsh?

From Quiz Obscure Noises

Answer: My Chemical Romance

'Ecstasy: Three Tales of a Chemical Romance' is a collection of novellas which bassist Mikey Way spotted while working in a book shop before the band formed. My Chemical Romance was created in response to 9/11, when singer Gerard Way felt he needed to do something good in the world. They released their first album in 2002. It contains the song 'Skylines and Turnstiles', which sums up their motivation perfectly: 'And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence? And if the world needs something better, let's give them one more reason now.' 'Danger Days' is an album, 'Helena' is a song, and 'Trainspotting' is a novel by Irvine Welsh.

From Quiz Obscure Noises

Answer: A Day to Remember

The music A Day to Remember creates is a blend of pop punk and metalcore; they mix bouncy melodies with screaming vocals. One of the best examples of this is their cover of 'Since U Been Gone'. In an interview, singer Jerry McKinnon said that the band couldn't decide whether to be a pop punk band or a hardcore band, so they did both!

17. Who sings this: "pulverize the Eiffel tower who criticize your government"?

18. What do the bands Minor Threat, The Slinkees, Egghunt, Skewbald/Grand Union, Embrace, Teen Idles, Fugazi, The Evens and Pailhead all have in common?

From Quiz Punk Rock 1980s and 90s

Answer: All involved Ian Mackaye

Ian Mackaye played in all these bands. Most notably, Minor Threat, Fugazi and Teen Idles. Some seem to think he played bass in Rites Of Spring but that is actually untrue. The Rites Of Spring bassist was called Mike Fellows. Ian played in The Slinkees when he was very young. This was prior to him setting up Dischord Records in 1980 which still runs today. I think he played very very briefly with The Untouchables towards the end of their tenure on the DC scene but essentially, The Untouchables was Ian's brother, Alec's band. Jeff Nelson drummed for Minor Threat, The Slinkees, Egghunt, Skewbald/Grand Union and Teen Idles. Brendan Canty played drums for Fugazi, Ivor Hanson for Embrace. The Evens was a collaboration of Ian Mackaye singing and playing baritone guitar with Amy Farina, who played with Alec Mackaye in The Warmers, on drums. They recorded 12 songs in the summer of 2004 released in March 2005, Other than Fugazi, The Evens is Mackaye's only band to have lasted into 2005. Pailhead was just Mackaye and some guy from Ministry but they only released two singles (on Wax Trax records) anyway so it doesn't matter.

19. This all out band released which song containing the lines: "I'm just sipping on chamomile Watching all the girls and the sex appeal Stranger in my face says he knows my mom And went to my high school."?

From Quiz Punk Rock Mix

Answer: No Doubt

This was an easy one. All the groups in the choices are great even though at first, many people thought No Doubt would not last in the early 90s but they're still here and their songs keep coming.

20. What punk legend(s) did NOT appear in Bruce McDonald's film 'Hard Core Logo'?

From Quiz Punk Rock

21. 'Like father, like son 'rebels' bloated on...

22. Who sings this: "The night goes on As I'm fading away"?

From Quiz Punk Music of 2004-05

Answer: Simple Plan

This is from Simple Plan's second album "Still Not Getting Any". It is called "Untitled... How could this happenn to me" and it is the third single off the album. The video features Pierre standing in the rain and a girl getting in a car accident.

23. What was the birth name of Black Flag and Rollins Band singer, Henry Rollins?

From Quiz Punk Rock 1980s and 90s

Answer: Henry Garfield

Henry Rollins was born Henry Garfield in Washington, D.C. on February 13, 1961. He played in a number of local hardcore bands as a teenager in Washington including State Of Alert. When his idols, Black Flag came to town he jumped up on stage and sang alongside the band. Soon after, vocalist Dez Cadena moved to guitar and the band invited Garfield (or Rollins) to audition. And the rest, I guess, is history. Since Black Flag's split in 1986 Rollins has been performing spoken word tours across the globe and playing with his band, Rollins Band.

24. "I am sick of being alone/When are you coming home?/Just a glimpse of your face."

From Quiz Pop Punk Lyrics

Answer: Simple Plan

Simple Plan's "My Alien" off their album "No Pads No Helmets Just Balls."

25. Who did a young Henry Rollins replace as lead singer for Black Flag?

From Quiz Punk Rock

Answer: Dez Cadena

Dez was the singer, but he switched to guitar when Rollins joined. Roessler played bass a few years later, Stevenson was a drummer, and MacKeye wasn't in Black Flag at all.

26. This band has made the most lineup changes of all time.

From Quiz Punk Rock 1

Answer: Me First And The Gimme Gimmies

27. Who sings this: "When every star falls Brought you to tears again"?
