Nashville punk bands worth checking out

Nashville's punk scene saw bands like Paramore rise through the ranks and become bona fide stars. Along with Murfreesboro, it's always been primarily defined by raucous DIY shows and house concerts.

• Olive Scibelli, co-owner of the DIY club Drkmttr, labeled Kandi & the Kavities, Flummox and Bazookatooth as punk/hardcore favorites.
• Seth Steele, a punk enthusiast who also promotes concerts at his East Nashville bar No Quarter, singled out a few Nashville area bands worth checking out: Waxed, Hans Condor, Sinkers, Yammer Jaw, Nightmare Beach, Dogpile, Have a Rad Day and Weak Daze.
• Nate is a fan of punk veterans Be Your Own Pet and the ascending band Snõõper.

Join the party: If you're in the mood for a heavy dose of Nashville punk, a two-day festival called Nashville Punk Rock Flea Market will take place at Eastside Bowl next month (July 19-20).
