It's swiftly become my favourite sub-genre of punk. These seems to be some seriously punishingly heavy bands out there working it into their music.

Who are your favourite d-beat influenced bands?

I'm loving at the moment
Lavotchkin
Cursed
Masakari
End Reign
Coilguns ( just found these guys, it's like DEP meets d-beat and DFA1979 )
and of course Discharge
