Here's like two hours of random shit. Not sure how it happened, but we're gonna roll with it. Cheers.

"Reggae is vile."   - Morrissey

"Went to a Madness gig in Finsbury Park. Morrissey was a support act. He came on and sang ‘The National Front Disco’, then ran away in a hail of piss bottles.
That was a great gig".   - Sarah ESCQEdin

Track List

"Punk is often now seen as a mere genre of music and type of dress, but in reality it goes beyond that. It is a powerful and empowering counter culture that can be used to free oneself from unhealthy, unrealistic, and binding societal pressures and expectations. Punk is a political tool and ethos that many can gain inspiration from when addressing injustices on both a personal and systemic level. So be punk. Free yourself from the expectations that bind you from more personal growth and happiness, question authority, and never cross a picket line."
