Punk rock was originally applied to the wave of wannabe Brits who followed the British Invasion. Mostly one-two hit wonders like The Blues Magoo’s, the Seeds, Music Machine and everyone else on the original Nuggets and subsequent Rhino series. They were washed away by the West Coast scene by 1968. When the more original sound was labeled punk, some named the previous wave grunge; when Seattle happened, it was finally named garage, especially revivalists like the Lyres and Original Sins

Punk is, like everything else, an aquired taste. In my mind it’s meat and spuds rock and roll the way it is meant to be played. From the onset, rock and roll was controversial and unacceptable to societies beliefs of what society should be. Somewhere along the way rock and roll became accepted due to radio play and became kinder and gentler as a way to become more acceptable to society. Punk is not about acceptance, not about what society thinks but rather about living the life these great bands find acceptable to themselves. Punk musicians don’t fall into peer groups nor do they bend to peer pressure. Punk bands speak their minds through the music they play and the lyrics they write and sing. This is why we who enjoy punk listen to it.

How can you talk about punk music without mentioning The Damned, the 1st UK punk band to release a single? The brilliant New Rose.
Still going strong today.
