NME said that. They're even worse than Rolling Stone when it comes to actual music facts.

[neckermanncj]

okay whatever, doesn't mean i couldn't still check them out.

BUT!!!!, they are NOT Post Rock, so you cannot discuss them in here!

added song to OP

I do remember in an interview somewhere that John Lydon was saying how they were post rock....so theres another reason, although Green Day calls themselves punk too so they aren't always right about their own genre

added 6 songs to OP will add more later, when i am less tired
