Punk was in danger of passing me by until I saw this single in the cheap box in the local record shop (50p). Took it home, played it non-stop for a few hours and then ran with it up to my mate's house and did the same thing there. Couple of months later I took my entire record collection up to a shop who's name I can't recall in Notting Hill Gate and sold the lot. Changed my life that record.
well i find the whole punk scene fascinating I remember all the main players of that genre but i was just slightly to young to fully appreciate it in 76 . Looking back it did break boundaries and the music scene did change from that moment on
Do you regret selling all your vinyl back then ?
I prefer the oi genre of punk and been going to gigs the last 2 years and still most sell out especially the festival types . Couldn't get to this years rebellion in Blackpool but hoping to do it next year
As i,m in a mood following our defeat today going to play the band that gave us the Eddie May chant to cheer me up
I said what's his name ...........

RIP

talking of post punk off to see these tonight first live music of 2024 for me !
never seen a tribute band before
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwAp...&start_radio=1
A lot of punk bands made a living by embracing the attitude
But they couldn't play
And ended up being tory boys which was ironic 🙄
a bit apprehensive at first after seeing the smiths 3 times back in the 80's but yes a great night in front of a capacity audience and very energetic too !
the opening riffs of Bigmouth strikes again still make the hairs on my neck stand up !
Now i know how joan of arc felt ...........................
post punk again i,ve heard stories of the stone roses playing in Newport with the singer with a city top on . don't think that would of gone too well in Newport back around that time but someone has posted a pic on twitter to confirm the story

Thought that album was bollox at the time and 50 odd years later my opinion hasn't changed. But what do I know - at the time I was into Ozzy, The Stranglers, Zeppelin, The Clash and a bit of Ska
SLF are the real punk deal .
Still delivering the same angst.
I notice the Strangers are playing Caldicot Castle in the summer supported by Buzzcocks
Anyone ever been to a gig there ?
and to get me in the mood ..this song will get me over you featuring Stuart Pearce

:music:
I remember the chants of City, City, the smashed glass and the police in the foyer and outside after the gig.

Not punk, but I am surprised this band never made it big. I think they got overwhelmed by Britpop, which was just a few months away. Ace guitar playing though ...
