I was in a rock covers band when I saw the Bill Grundy interview and next time I saw the lead guitarist and vocalist it was decided, we were going to be punks and changed the name to The Razors. (not embarrassed at all LOL)
Got into Punk through listening to my brothers music, then of age to get into the UK 82 thing. Left home, was into the anarcho scene and realised by squatting and taking drugs, alcohol, I could achieve massive social change
Career wise, never really recovered from that!
Still love the music, today have been listening to
dunno how many times I saw the Subs, recall talking to a bloke once and mentioning it was my 64th gig, lost count after that.
Strangely, though I obviously enjoyed 'em live, it was as much the people who followed the band that attracted me to go for a night out. In my time they enjoyed strong following from Whitton and Wood Green, with another goodly sized bunch of regulars coming up from the Medway towns. As mentioned, 'live' was what is was about with me, none of their vinyl ever comes near the top of my favs list.
Always thought this was the very first punk single? And not too bad either.
Yep, I still regard that as the first and greatest example of a Punk single. Short, raw and exciting.
Punk was great. a real V sign to the pretentious way rock was going with the concept albums etc. I was 12 years old in 76 but luckily I have an older brother who loved music and we went to loads of gigs back then. I was a bit of a plastic punk though if I am honest. Going to a grammar school from a middle class family the best I could muster was a black blazer covered in those little punk badges that were about. Saw this lot a few times.
