Nice one mate!
Best US Punk band,had their own sound,they were much liked over here.My M8s band supported them in ´81,wildest gig i´ve ever been to,fighting,bottle throwing and so on,can still feel the atmosphere even ,if it´s centuries away...
Jello Biafra is a nut-case. Between his running for mayor of San Fransisco and proposing to ban all cars from the downtown district and enforce a manditory uniform of clown outfits for all salaried employees in the same area to some of his lunatic fringe rantings on his spoken word tours, he earned the label of freakshow from me. I got to see him on his spoken word tour and him singing for Lard (him singing for Ministry). Lard was absolute mayhem. They were encouraging civil disobedience to the degree that Al Jourgenson was saying "Destroy this place, we're rich and have money for new equipment. Fuck shit up." Hearing Jello screaming DEEEEESTROOOOOOY while watching people trash the stage was sublime.
Yeah,this guy is a lunatic and has a special charisma!
nazi punks f.uck off!
i love the dead kennedy's, i agree best us punk band, the ramones are a fav of mine too.
i like Black Flag a bit of the old Rollins Band
HUsker Du
Black Flag was the first concert I saw without parental supervision. My mother was in an absolute frenzy of panic when I got home. Apparently there were 3 stabbings at the show I was at and I was clueless about it. She heard it on the news. The Rollins Bands first album is without a doubt the best one. I just wish he wasn't such a pretentious prick who writes shit poetry.Quote:

He later formed a band called Sugar that had 2 really good albums (Copper Blue and Beaster) that are well worth looking up. Good American style post punk stuff ala Dinosaur Jr or Pixies.
will have to grab this, cheers carsten!
black flag, the pixies, husker du, minute men. dinosaur jnr, man what a blast from the past, that SST label was the bollox!Quote:

Don't forget about Bad Brains, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, The Descendents and the Screaming Trees. Massively influential label that had it's share of financial woes and lawsuits concerning masters and the ownership of album rights. SST's longtime sound engineer Spot is a bartender here in Austin, Texas and is a friendly guy who likes to talk about music. Since I'm a chef and bring him food, he gives me drinks and talks much shit about Ginn and all the money that he is still owed.Quote:
