Ep 43 - Punk From NYC to London and beyond !!!

Across the oceans and in two very different cities a counter culture was bubbling under. One a speed driven surf infused art house vibe that had more in common with Jack Keroauc and beat poetry then they would care to admit. The Other a need to flee the slums and hum drum of a country brought to its knees by a government that broke the promise of a utopian post war dream. From the plastic fantastic of swinging 60’s London to the filth and the fury of generation of dole line denizens. GENERATION X. This weeks episode address all of the above and how 2 different cultures mixed to create the movement that freed music from the tyrannies of the institutionalised record labels and said.ANYONE CAN DO THIS ALL YOU NEED IS A GUITAR, 3 CHORDS AND ENOUGH BALLS TO GIVE IT A GO. It broke down class barriers, race barriers and gender stereotypes to proclaim COME AND HAVE A GO. It had one badge one banner and that was PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY BRAND NEW FACE BOOK PAGE COME AND SAY HELLOhttps://www.facebook.com/HeavyMetalTonesSign up at Patreon.com/heavymetaltones to help support the show for just $2 a month this will help keep the lights on and the mic humming Hosted on Acast.
