This is a list of notable punk rock bands (letters L through Z). The bands listed have played some type of punk music at some point in their career, although they may have also played other styles. Bands who played in a style that influenced early punk rock - such as garage rock and protopunk - but never played punk rock themselves, should not be on this list. Bands who created a new genre that was influenced by (but is not a subgenre of) punk rock - such as alternative rock, crossover thrash, grunge, metalcore, new wave, and post-punk - but never played punk rock, should not be listed either.
