Punk Rock

Evening Standard Tuesday 10th May 1977

Sex Pistols Tour Poster England, and especially London, was an exciting place to be in the late 70's if you were a punk rocker. The thrill of a music revolution and the fear of violent attack from "normal" people gave life an edge.

Venues like the Roxy, the Red Cow, the Nashville, the Marquee and the 100 Club were rocking most nights with a manic crowd pogoing to a succession of new bands.

Bands which were bucking current fashion trends and cocking a snook at the increasing tedium and pretentions of the lumbering conventional music industry machine.
