What got you into Punk Rock? (2 Viewers)

[Carlow Punks!]

Putting on metal/grunge nights in Archies Bar in Carlow with Doyler back about 1995/6 and Conor bringing Brawl then Ex-Cathedra up to play about a fortnight apart. Up 'til then had just heard Sex Pistols/Clash did'nt realise there was still a thriving punk underground. Hooked - thanks Conor.

Used to hate the whole punk/ska scene until I started listening to Leftover Crack and now im a firm believer in the word of punk.

 

[killy kill]

Appropriately enuff,never mind the bollocks when i was 12.
that was quickly discarded about a year later for Black Flag and Bad Brains

 

[mr.blueface]

pistols usually are,! its seems there more of a steping stone into other stuff!!,

 

[Anarcho Munk]

My brother.

He forced me to listen to Fuck Authority by Pennywise when I was 11 and I quickly got into other punk bands after that.

I haven't listened to Pennywise in years actually.

BMX video's... bands like Nofx,Pennywise and Good Riddance.
Only got into hardcore bands through a friend with a massive record collection and penchant for the term raging.Only started listening to hardcore about a year ago.

 

[scrawlzine]

Old SST soundtracks on Santa Cruz skateboarding vids +
listening to John Peel

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

The Puszone column in Thrasher magazine and Peel,closely followed by tapes and taking chances on records mentioned in Thrasher and other skate mags.
As a result of crossover I also heard bands like DRI,Ludichrist,Cro Mags etc.

bought stranger than fiction by bad religion when it came out cause i seen the video for infected on mtv (selling out has its good points) and smash by the offspring closely followed by pennywise. skate vids were a big influence and j.k. on 2fm used to play gout which gave me the butterflies the first time i heard

actually i've misplaced all my gout shit could someone put the album and the l.p. up for download on this if at all possible

 

[Milkman]

Also,when I was a kid I was really into Adam & The Ants,when I heard the first lp my mind was blown,to me it was really fucked up. It really made me wanna hear loads of different types of music so I started watching the Tube,Old Grey Whistle Test and some random late night music tv. I remember my first exposure to the Dead Kennedy's was a gig on late on CH4,I couldn't believe it. Took me a while to find out more.
