This week we travel back in time to just after the dawn of PUNK ROCK (1978-1981)! We discuss bands influenced by the 1st wave who then took punk into various sub-genres. If you don’t think Punk is for you based on secondhand information, we ask that you listen with an open mind and prepare to get out some aggression.

This episode features songs with the shortest track length that we’ve ever played; it’s PUNK ROCK people! Punk is where Kevin started down his path of music fanaticism. Although, that was more based around the hardcore Punk scenes. This is the lead-up to hardcore, and what would establish punk as a lasting genre full of variety and originality. Hope you dig the 2nd wave!

Songs this week include:

1. The Dictators – “Faster And Louder” from Blood Brothers (1978)
2. Magazine – “Shot By Both Sides” from Real Life (1978)
3. Chelsea – “I’m On Fire” from Chelsea (1979)
4. The Stranglers – “Dead Loss Angeles” from The Raven (1979)
5. GG Allin – “One Man Army” from Always Was, Is, And Always Shall Be (1980)
6. Zounds – “Can’t Cheat Karma” from Curse Of The Zounds (1980)
7. Soggy – “Waiting For The War” from Soggy (1981)
8. The Cheifs – “Liberty” from Holly-West Crisis (1981)
