I don't know about Old School.. perhaps so... i think of them as a modern day Clash... but i like them...

 

[Susilapsi]

I dont know but does it matter if they're old school or not? They're damn good in any case

Disregard the subsequent two posts. Something glitched up there...

When I think of old-school punk, I think of bands like GHB, Circle Jerks, and The Exploited (essentially late 70s/80s bands). I wouldn't really consider them old-school personally, but I dig a lot of their early material either way.
