r/punk

Other than the Minutemen and post punk bands like This Heat, The Pop Group, Mission of Burma and Gang of Four...etc what other 80's punk bands showcased the talent NoMeansNO showcased?

Cross posting doesn’t work.

Saw Off with their Heads on Sunday, with Mermaid Island and Dillenger Four. Going to both nights of Fat's 35 yr shows, and that's it. They are closing at the end of the year.

Free download of The Dicks - Kill From The Heart reissue from Superior Viaduct. Passing it along so more people can enjoy this important anti-fascist band. Remember, Dicks hate police, and so should you!

You can't find justice, it'll find you. Yeah, it'll find you

*EDIT/UPDATE: Chicago show was cancelled! good on ya! they have only a few shows left in the states before starting a massive European tour

The new single kicks ass

Who Wins?

Hey Ryan Young, There is a song with your name........

The 1981 Connection
The Fateful Show: In March 1981, future Beastie Boys members Mike D, MCA, and future frontman Ad-Rock (along with Henry Rollins and Thurston Moore) were all separately in the audience at New York's Peppermint Lounge for Black Flag's first-ever East Coast show.

Inspiration: Witnessing that raw hardcore performance inspired the future Beastie Boys members to form their own punk band (initially called The Young Aborigines) before shifting to rap.

Later 1990s Connection
Tours with Rollins: While they never played with Black Flag, the Beastie Boys did tour and perform alongside the Rollins Band (fronted by former Black Flag singer Henry Rollins) during their 1992 Check Your Head tour.

Picked this up a while back: "I Swear I Stayed for the Encore E.P.," a bootleg on a fake Chiswick label, of the Sex Pistols' June 4th, 1976 show at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall. Never been able to pin down when or where it was actually pressed. Anyone recognize it or have a lead on dating it?

For context on why the gig matters: it's the show credited with kickstarting Manchester's post-punk scene. Joy Division, Buzzcocks, The Fall, The Smiths and a chunk of Factory Records all trace back to people allegedly in that room. Wrote up more on the gig and the full attendee list here if you want the background: https://www.thesenseofdoubt.com/blogs/archive/the-gig-nobody-agrees-on-sex-pistols-at-the-lesser-free-trade-hall-1976

Mostly posting for the record though. Curious if anyone here can help place this pressing or have a similar version.
