Anyone who thinks that Britain still has a decent punk scene is mad, the British punk 'scene' is shite.

Angelic Upstarts, SLF and Dead Kennedy's... '88. As a young teen these were bands that were entering my ear. For a while tho the Upstarts were the Number One punk band I'm sure.

Filler, im only 28 so it was a bit before my time but can you tell me why the Upstarts were plauged by people thinking they were a Nazi sort of band? Racist idiots following them and all that? Were they ever anything like that?

No, can't say why at all. Saw many a punk/Oi! band and never saw a right wing element ever. A few stories yes but never anything major. I wasn't a regular by any means but no... the Nazi shit got such short shrift that I never saw any of it.

This song has become more relevant in recent times (metaphorically speaking), both with LFC and government.

Fucking love that song !
Sometimes I play it about 15 times in a row, drinking heavy in between headbangs.
Normal life seems pretty boring after that.
One of the most aggressive songs I know.

Try finding "Bomb heaven" from the Disrupters, an English band (album - Playing with fire (1984), it's fucking aggressive too.
found it :

Please post any other really cool songs I might have missed or something .

By the way, for anyone who's into the Ruts on here, give this a watch. It's Henry Rollins tallking about fronting The Ruts for the reunion gig which was the last show before Foxy passed away. It's in 3 parts so a bit of a watch, but well worth it.

Then check out some of the gig footage on youtube.

Yer can't beat a bit of Fugazi/Minor Threat. No mention of the Minutemen tho... super sweet band:

Here's side 1 of their sublime 4xLP... edit: ha... not a 4 LP, it just has enough songs to fill a 4LP. A true classic.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/4LSFOGb0T2Y?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/4LSFOGb0T2Y?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US</a>


I'd cite this as one of the greatest punk LP's of all time pretty often.



WIKI:

Double Nickels on the Dime is the third studio album by American punk trio Minutemen, released on the Californian independent record label SST Records in 1984. A double album containing forty-five songs, Double Nickels on the Dime combines elements of punk rock, funk, country, spoken word and jazz, and references a variety of themes, from the Vietnam War and racism in America, to working class experience and linguistics.

Minutemen had originally recorded an album's worth of material in November 1983 with producer Ethan James, but after hearing Hόsker Dό's Zen Arcade, decided to write and record more material in April 1984. After recording the new material, the band members each selected songs for different sides of the double album, with the fourth side named "Chaff". Several songs on Double Nickels on the Dime were outsourced to or inspired by contemporaries, such as Black Flag's Henry Rollins and Jack Brewer of Saccharine Trust.

Double Nickels on the Dime is often seen not only as Minutemen's crowning achievement, but, as critic Mark Deming notes, "one of the very best American rock albums of the 1980s."[1] The album now appears on many professional lists of the all-time best rock albums, including Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[4]

I love Mudhoney, I've seen them so many times live, but that doesn't mean Nirvana were crap.
Makes me think of the old Beatles vs Stones bullshit.

Anyway, I wouldn't call Nirvana or Mudhoney punkrock.
The Subpop movement can't really be compared with, say, the Pistols and the Damned.

That's the eventual commercial success vs the reality of what they actually recorded thats fucking with your head in that post. Got lucky with image really gives the game away.


Caught a pretty good programme on Radio 4 today about French Punk . It never ceases to delight me that Radio 4 has programmes on punk (which it does from time to time). Seen thru the eyes of Andrew Hussey from Liverpool. Not exactly sure about his central argument that gets aired right at the end for closure at all - a neat but ugly tie up - but good fun anyway.

Liberty, Fraternity, Anarchy - Le Punk Francais

Quote
The recorded histories of punk concentrate on two places - the USA and England - and while it's true that much of the scene's most important activity took place there, one other key territory has been largely written out of the story - France. Andrew Hussey argues that without the French, punk would simply have been pub rock with shorter hair.

Many of the ideas, he shows, and much of the look of punk came from the French: Malcolm McLaren and Tony Wilson were hugely influenced by the Situationist movement in particular, and deliberately and explicitly trawled it for images and lyrics that were to become iconic punk expressions (the Sex Pistols record covers, lyrics such as 'Cheap holidays in other people's misery'...); the first festival of punk music took place at Mont de Marsan in 1976; the first Rough Trade release was from the Parisian band 'Metal Urbain'; the punk 'look' first embodied by Richard Hell was drawn straight from fin de siecle French poets, and the graffiti strewn clothing of The Clash comes straight from the 50s group les Lettrists.

As Hussey will show, not only did the French influence the international scene, it also contributed bands such as Stinky Toys, Marie et les Garcons and Starshooter, bands that often explored the potential of electronic music within the punk sound (an avenue unexplored by their US and UK equivalents) - anticipating the popularity of electronics over the course of the following years.

Hussey speaks with some of the key players in the French scene in the streets le punk francais took place to bring this forgotten moment in Gallic culture vividly to life

Likewise in the Country and Western thread there is no mention of the Dead Kennedy's
What category would you put Nirvana in out of interest?

Don't know if these guys are on your radar, but Death were one of my odd discoveries of a couple of years back.

Three black guys from Detroit in 1974/5:
