RnR

I was looking through some old photos and found this one of my dad teasing me. We were on holiday in Malta around 1979 and I was listening to punk on my cassette player. I only had two or three tapes then and took them with me. I played them so much they split and I had to splice them back together.

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Let it be known I never thought of Siouxsie as gothic. She and Severin were around from the beginning of the start of punk, being part of the first Sex Pistols fans the Finchley Mob. Later on I would purchase their earlier records, but this was the first one I bought. I remember seeing it on TOTPs as well. No DIY stuff here. Like many other first wave punk bands they were signed up to a major label (Polydor). I have recorded up to the Ju Ju LP for my daughter Helen and she likes them a lot.

BGK

B.G.K. are one of the best known punk bands from Holland. Probably my favourite too. I have their double LP discography from Alternative Tentacles. It's still available so go buy it now. This is their "White Male Dumbinance" ep. That has to be up there with one of the best record titles ever. Also check out the insert adn great lyrics. I doubt many straight edge jocks read them. It was on a label called Vogelspin and is from 1984. Oh also the name stands for Balthazar Gerrard's Kommando. If I remember correctly I think he was some right wing christian psycho so their name is a pisstake. http://rapidshare.com/files/78768902/B.G.K..rar
