you need to dig deeper in the sub-scenes of punk to impress me :P by the way the 125 tracks punk compilation i told you about will be ready in about 1 month.

+rick watson Yes. The problem with the more obscure stuff is it's hard to find any live footage of these bands. I didn't want to make a video that was just photos of record / cassette sleeves, so went for stuff that at least there was film of. Are you releasing this punk compilation on C.D ? As for the more obscure sub-scenes of punk, I've got a big box of tapes of obscure band demos & compilations bought at hardcore gigs & from fanzines back in the mid 1980s. as well as lots of tiny label & self-released vinyl, though a lot of it is dreadful. Some obscure gems from my tape / vinyl collection - Psykyk Volts (U.K), I.Q Zero (U.K), The Wretched (Italy), Generic (U.K), Tank Girl (Tibet), The Crow People (U.K), The Apostles (U.K), The Next World (U.K), Heavy Discipline (U.K), Rudimentary Peni (U.K), Furious Apples (Switzerland), Crow People (U.K), Blood Robots (U.K), Raw Power (Italy), Spit (USA), Railz (Poland), Negazione (Italy), Declino (Italy), Mass Of Black (U.K), The Weirdos (USA), Metal Urbain (France), Sleeping Dogs (USA), Sanction (U,K), Rubella Ballet (U.K), Niet (Yugoslavia), Oi Polloi (U.K), Atroce (Italy), Deviant Pigs (USA), Thatcher On Acid (UK), Morbido (Spain), The Sears (U.K), Mob 47 (Sweden).

the compilation will be put up as a compressed archive somewhere in the web, i'll notice you as soon as my buddies and i are done with it so you'll be able to get a link for the download. it will include bands from '76 to '96 and it'll range from street punk to hardcore, oi, anarcho, punk-rock, early girl-power. we left out the so-called emotinal-hardocore cause none of us like that stuff, all of the crust scene since that will be part of a compilation that we'll eventually make centered on crust/grindcore/metalcore and all of the post-punk since we've already made a compilation on that. by the way a bunch of the bands you listed in your reply will be part of the compilation, i won't tell you which now though, you'll see when it's done :P if i may ask, what scene of the punk universe where you part of?

My own voyage through the punk universe was as follows. I was a bit young for the first wave of punk (I was ten years old in 1976), but after hearing the Sex Pistols in 1977, punk became the first music I liked, and I started buying records by a lot of the obvious punk bands (Sex Pistols, Stranglers, Sham 69 etc). Then, over the next few years, I started going to independent record shops & chance-buying all sorts of second-wave punk (& experimental stiff) on tiny, independent labels. I discovered Crass in 1980, and over the next few years got really involved in the whole anarcho-punk scene & lifestyle. The next thing that came along was the first wave of Grindcore (circa 1987) - Napalm Death, Carcass etc, and I got really into that & Italian hardcore. Since then, there doesn't seem to have been any interesting new developments in punk. There are still good bands, but none of them seem to be doing anything 'new' and it's more just 'keeping the faith'.

Mesmerised again. These women are great!

could I get a list of the different bands shown here?

+Melody Dickens I'll put a full list with details in the underbar sometime in the next few days (I'm being a lazy bastard at the moment). For now, the artists appearing are (in order) - The Slits, The Plasmatics, Annie Anxiety, Nina Hagen, The Bags.
