lets have some punk

So much good stuff on here! Love it. Here’s another little gem from The Ruts:

Punk isn’t my thing at all, but I was chatting to a guy at work a couple of weeks ago, and he said he was in a punk band in the 80s/90s.
He told me a story about an American bloke who made serious plans to perform with them in London, and commit suicide on stage.

The band even took advice from the police of how to avoid getting done for aiding and abetting.

Turns out the guy killed himself with a heroin overdose before he made it over to the UK.

Seriously messed up stuff!

Bit of a downer. Neat Neat Neat by The Damned:

was?

still is.

Why is “new” punk so damn formulaic then?
I’d rather think of stuff like Death Grips as punk for the 21st century than hearing the same old riffs and shouty vocals as 30+ years ago.

No worries DezB, i’ve sent you the new Green Day album to cheer you up 😉

Ahh.. they’re just a sweet lickle pop band. 🙂

Not sure if you’d class it as ‘new’ (2002) or even punk, but this lot were anything but formulaic…

(I got goosebumps when the bass kicked in. Silly old bugger)

More sax driven punk. Can’t believe I found this on Youtoob!

Snuff- You’re Wondering Now.
Singing drummers ,just how do they do it? We’re not talking Henley or Collins here are we?

I have no idea. It’s like trying to pat your head & rub your belly while flying a helicopter

up until January this year I’d never been asked to sing while playing (something to do with carrying tunes in buckets) but I did manage a whoa-ay-oa in the chorus of one song and a “oi oi oi oi” in another

I’d post The Germs but I’ve not got a clue. Nice to see Poison Idea on here.

macinblack – whaaaat??? howve you heard of the pseudo existors?? local band from lincoln, peel played em once mebbes…….. i had that EP and its great, but wouldnt have expected to see them on stw!!!
