The ripples of the first wave of punk rock are still being heard four generations later. In this episode of 3x3, we've got the nu-wave of punk -- or what we've decided to call post-post-punk. Each of the 3 bands in this edition showcases the different paths the genre has taken.

We start things off with English neo-New Wave quartet Bloc Party burning down the house with its decade-straddling angular art punk in front of a hometown crowd. Then over to Jesse Malin, the former pre-teen hardcore punk from NYC belting it out at an in-store gig in Fords, N.J. In the 3rd spot we offer up D.C.-born, Brooklyn-based band French Kicks displaying its combination of punk fervor and mod-style melodicism at a show in Los Angeles.

If you haven't been plugged into 3x3, we've got 42 different performances for you to watch, ranging from David Bowie's latest obsession, TV on the Radio, to the our favorite irresistible soul sister, Amy Winehouse.
