Does this count?

My roommate in college was deep into that sort of thing. Actually invited Orange 9mm (I think it was Orange 9mm, it might have been some other band of the era) to a party at our apartment when they played a gig in Atlantic City.

I also went to school with some of the band members from The Youth Ahead and Social Butterfly. I don't think either of those ever really made it out of the Northeast scene, though I think Youth Ahead played the Warped Tour at one point.

That roommate was also huge into Fugazi.

I only half paid attention to whatever he was listening to, I was never hugely into punk. Bad Religion actually kind of caught my attention with a couple of songs, though (they're more melodic than most punk is).

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring up Bad Religion. Not exactly "hardcore" but I certainly wouldn't put them under "pop punk" with the likes of Green Day.

Leaning towards more melodic punk without running smack dab into bubblegum shit, you can't go wrong with NOFX, Operation Ivy, the Decendants, or even pushing towards ska the first couple of Mighty Mighty Bosstones albums.

From there you'll end up on Dropkick Murphy's eventually and if you didn't pass obvious stops like the Misfits, Rancid, Social Distortion, Dead Kennedy's, the Ramones, Fugazi, Black Flag, and Sex Pistols you weren't paying attention on the whirlwind punk tour.
