I know a little. Very little. Mostly the obvious, most well known bands. I would love some bands to explore. Starting with the early years. So, hit me with the facts!

They were definitely part of the movement even if they weren't part of what became the stereotype.

I think you should just go with Pink Flag. It pays great dividends with multiple listenings and it’s interesting from the get-go.

I think it’s what you’re looking for.

He’s a sophisticated music fan Pink Flag hits all the right spots

These days everything is so micro-labeled but Wire was introduced to me as a punk band so that’s always how I’ve thought of them
