Punk rock, Hardcore, Oi!, Garage, Metal, Ska, Indie (and whatever else) Discussion and Anarchy thread

The last page of the thread is not loading on my phone… so can’t see the last few posts. I’m posting from page one.
 
Now I can see the last two posts.

@TiedbyChris . These are great. You are totally schooling me on Northern Irish punk rock. Which admittedly, I didn’t know much about besides the undertones and SLF..

Cool stuff.

I’ve enjoyed sharing my history!

Watch this movie/film if you want a bit more of the story. I was in this record store a lot!!!
 
Reminds me of my misspent youth at city gardens and the west catasaqua playground building, the Cattyshack, Flemington VFW, Manville Polish American Hall, etc.

 
Song was going thru my head like a song worM this morning waking up for work.

Not really punk rock, but Roky was the man behind the 13th floor elevators.

And it’s a great song.

 
Hi Standard/Pizza of Death Records Ken Yokoyama's off-shoot band BBQ Chickens always put on a fun show...
(bonus points for spotting the cameraman wandering the stage in adult diapers... and about 10 minutes in shit gets spicy on stage....yeah J-punk is weird af)

I like a Shonen Knife l, Teengenrate as well as Electric Eel Shock.

 
I have always liked The Lurkers. I got one of their later 45s on Clay records when I was listening to a lot of English hardcore. I think discharge was on that label, maybe chaos UK. Then I found the Gods Lonely Men LP a few months kater. Don’t recall where but I was amazed by their super 77 style sound.

I never seen them and didn’t even get into them till the mid 80s, well after their prime.

Always liked them tho and appreciate their really good solid songwriting.



 
So for shits and giggles, I wanted to know more… found this book on Amazon. Lo and behold , it’s a signed copy by Pete “manic esso “ Haynes.

———
In 'God's Lonely Men', Pete Haynes takes us on an insider's journey through the late seventies Punk Rock phenomenon whilst maintaining an outsider's view on society at large from his position as the drummer in West London hopefuls

'The Lurkers'. Pete charts their progress from the pubs and clubs to Top of the Pops and back again, giving us a wry look at the music business in the process.

But this is much more than a 'warts 'n all' look at the rock 'n' roll industry; here we see future rock stars soon to have the world at their feet, rubbing shoulders with everyday people struggling against the odds to find their feet in the world.

It is a story that mixes brutal humour with a sharp critique of the human condition from the point of view of a working class individual who, despite often being at odds with the world around him, still finds a connection with like minded souls along the way.

More than a mere rock 'n' roll fable, 'God's Lonely Men' is for anyone interested in 'people and their attitudes towards one another in a tale which looks at right and wrong and is never afraid to take sides.
