Like I said. I'm happy to link to you but I want a link to me. I'm going to start checking more regularly. I also write a little bit about the sites. Nothing winds me up more than just a list of names. That's not linking; that's listing. Unlike other people I actually go to the site and have a look.


If you don't know what CBGB's role is in punk you don't know squat. Check it out here.

THE BLITZ KIDS - Tribute to the 80s London Scene ( New Romantics ) An excellent site and well researched with some good photos of early punks and goths and features on Viv Westwood and loads more of interest. recommended. Astonishing as the site is Brazilian !!

Punknet 77 is a great site from Finland but written in English and with tons of info. We cover a lot of the same ground but he goes further than 1979 so give him a whirl. This site gets a double thumbs up coz he's also a Leeds United supporter !!!

Rina's women in 70's punk page. I take it as a compliment that Rina casually stole text and pictures  She's even removed the link to me after this little spat but I'll keep the link to hers coz she's quite funny especially the bit about herself which is actually longer than on the bands !

Johnny Mopeds Punk Pages. An excellent site with great well written articles. A must see. However never updated and now slowly becoming another piece of trivia in cyberspace

It wasn't all fun and games and posing in punk. This site is not about a well known band but I think representative of the trials and tribulations and moments of glory of smaller local bands .Good insight and great site ... well worth a visit and with music too.

Visit The Discords website..seem to be associated with Billy Childish, Pop Rivets,The Milkshakes and a whole load of interrelated garage bands...worth a visit
