I'm not familiar with the band since, but I think it's more about the circumstances of doing something as apposed to what you do that makes one a sellout. If a punk band compromises its' message in exchange for money or other benefits then they've sold out. While most people use the term negatively I personally would respect an artist for selling out provided they do it for something worth while. That's just clever on their part.

the only modern so-called punk bands who ive heard who are anywhere near the same league as the SexPistols,Clash etc etc are Green Day and Dropkick Murphys.

For me punk is very much alive it just happens in dive bars of every major city instead of the popular culture.
There is just an energy at a live punk show that is the most exciting and exhilarating thing I have ever experienced!

Agreed PJ20.
All the so called real punk from '78 is being used in cheesy corporate commercials anyway.
