Nevermind the bullocks, here’ some of the best punk ever. Listen here to some of the greatest early UK punk bands that came to define the movement and forever change the course of modern music. Enjoy!

London’s answer to the Anti-Folk of New York, the London nu-folk scene is a strong subculture that recently found popular expression in the successes of Laura Marling (nominated for the Mercury Prize) and Noah and the Whale. While there is no defining philosophy or musical style of the London nu-folk scene, with influences ranging from Bluegrass to Electronica, the musicians are united by their original songwriting abilities and a strong musical community. Collaboration is a very prevalent aspect of the community with many musicians either featuring or even producing each others records. See what the kids are up to in London..

Ah yes, my pretties! If you are an astute student of punk rock, you will surely be hip to the anarcho-peace-punk movement in the UK in the late 70’s onward. These politically-charged punkers had social and political aims far beyond the likes of the Sex Pistols or other more well-known punk acts, and, for them, punk was a part of their dialectically-negative challenge to the status quo. Check out the rough and tough sounds of bands such as Zounds, Flux of Pink Indians, and Poison Girls, and harken back to the day when Punk still had its teeth.
