List of punk rock bands, 0–K

See also List of punk bands, L–Z

This is a list of notable punk rock bands (numbers 0–9 and letters A through K). 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, grunge, New Wave, and post-punk—but never played punk rock, should not be listed either.
