I'm Petee's spirit animal
Poor dog. I remember holding an electric fence (with my fingers to be clear) when I was a kid, and it wasn't a pleasant experience when the jolt of power came through - getting that through your dick wouldn't be good.

I remember you posting that on the bandwidth thread, and I replied - I did that over 40 years ago, went to piss in a hedge, and hadn't noticed the electric fence wire around the field, that was embedded in the fucking hedge, ouchy.

Man hands himself in as he'd rather be in jail than spend any longer with people at home during lockdown
The suspect said he wanted to go prison to get some "peace and quiet" from those he shares his home with.

Interesting. This is about to exemplify that nowadays without a video, a song by itself is literally invisible.
I suppose because of SM .. that's Social Media not Sado-Masochism
IMO every band in the country ought to be making songs like these right now.

In this case it is not about the video but it is about a well written tune. Your soundcloud link sounds like a distorted version of discharge & is not easy listening regardless of the merits of the lyrics.Interesting.

Video does help rather than looking at an orange sound wave.
Classic

That's just a punk -vs- ska thing and it's a matter of taste. Having a video counts for a lot.
IMO there should be funk, soul, R&B, hip hop, indie, metal versions of songs on the same subject.
Thanks for the feedback anyway.

A lot of punk tunes are tuneful as well as the lyrics having a message. Think of the Clash & Guns of Brixton or Armageddon time.

Decent production would help too. It's very muddy.

The clash is pop music, not punk. Or, more specifically, it's punk music for people who think punk music is just a load of noise. Or poorly produced, too political, too angry, or 'muddy' lol

Not in the early days. Agreed they did mellow in their latter years but were one of the founders of the UK punk scene. I don't know how old you are but The Damned, Clash & the Pistols were the founding fathers.

If you say so. What do you consider to be 'punk'?

Like the Clash?

The Clash were on TotP
and even Legs & Co did a routine for Bank Robber
1978, same year as the Clash did ^Tommy Gun^, Crass released The Feeding of the 5000 that contains the song Punk is Dead
Yes that's right, punk is dead
It's just another cheap product for the consumers' head
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors
Schoolboy sedition backed by big-time promoters
CBS promote the Clash
Ain't for revolution, it's just for cash
Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be
Ain't got a thing to do with you or me
Movements are systems and systems kill
Movements are expressions of the public will
Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost
Leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost
Punk narcissism was a social napalm
Steve Jones started doing real harm
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change
Sucked from the system that had given him his name
Well I'm tired of staring through shit-stained glass
Tired of staring up a superstar's arse
I've got an arse and crap and a name
I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame
Steven Jones, you're napalm
If you're so pretty vacant, why do you smarm?
Patti Smith, you're napalm, you write with your hand
But it's Rimbaud's arm
And me, yes, I, do I want to burn?
Is there something I can learn?
Do I need a business man to promote my angle
Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear
The social elite with safety pins in their ear
I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing
The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting
Punk is dead
Punk is dead
Punk is dead
Punk is dead
Crass are not the be-all-and-end-all of punk by a long way, but they at least had a clue.

Watch the video of the clash playing TOTP & you will see at the bottom that they refused to do TOTP & that is a video from Something Else
I doubt they had much input to who Legs & Co danced to. I expect it was more likely to be the record company.

OK fair enough.
Still, turning up the guitars and spiking the hair isn't all it takes to be punk and I never saw The Clash as punk. Punk-pop maybe, like Sham 69. Later on Green Day took up the same kind of space.
