Squats & Sound: How Punks Reclaimed Space to Build Underground Music

This episode digs into the concrete walls of London’s abandoned warehouses, Berlin’s squatted basements and beyond—showing how punk bands turned makeshift homes into rehearsal rooms, DIY labels, venues and political hubs. We trace the legal jabs, community building, fanzine networks, and sonic evolution that flowed from these living spaces, and we explain how the squat ethos fed into anarcho‑punk and hardcore scenes across Europe.
