Who were the first punk band? (1 Viewer)

[Sly]

I saw Greenday play with the Cowboy Killers to a crowd of about 20 people in a small pub back in 1992 (i think), they weren't punk then either!!

First time Green Day played ireland they were great.

 

[Rimbaud]

First time Green Day played ireland they were great.

Yea right!

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Honestly,Richardsons social club in belfast and the Attic in dublin. The second lp wasn't out yet(the two on lookout are great) great gigs.

 

[Gambra]

well, at least he's honest about ti.. love going through the history of hardcore.. found many a great band.. and there's prob many i'll never find out about...

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I'm not too cool to admit liking anything I like.

 

[Sly]

yeah, i'll admit it, they weren't too bad, but were blown out of the water by the Cowboy Killers.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Only saw Cowboy killers once,years ago in Giro's old practice room. Amazing. dunno why I didn't buy more of their records.

 

[Sly]

They got a little cheesy towards the end, but the first two lps are ace. Words of warning had some classic but under rated realeases...Terminus, Pleasant Valley Children....

PVC were an amazing band,saw them when they played with Sore Throat in the art college on belfast. I'd love to get the split 10" with Generic they did.
The only Cowboy killers record I have is the split 7" with the Sect,a great record,and I also have the cd Mero did,although it's not nearly so memorable.

 

[Sly]

Wouldn't part with any of that stuff i'm afraid, but if I ever figure out how to put vinyl onto cd could maybe make a copy for ya. I've been reading the trade thread but don't really want anything up there so far. Have shit loads of old punk/oi/hardcore from Uk and elsewhere, but i'm a bit of a hoarder.

Kinda diverting from the thread, dunno who the first ever punk band were, but I think the attitude came from the pistols and the damned I would say. Woodie Guthrie was the first punk!!!!

You'd need to ask Boz for southern ireland.

 

[nuke terrorist]

what about the saints ? who formed in 1973 and there is a cd of them playing most of the songs from their first lp in a 1974 demo recording. i haven't heard this. their first 7" came out in summer 1976.
the iggy and the stooges song GIMME SOME SKIN always sounds like black flag to me. from 1974.

the electric eels formed in 1973 and broke up in early 1975.
as far as HC goes the middle class are always given the credit for their first 7". i've only heard a few SS songs but they are like the ramones but twice as fast.
