The British cultural revolution that defied authority and confronted the rock hegemony. This episode focuses on the rise of the Sex Pistols and other emerging British punk bands such as The Clash, The Damned and The Buzzcocks and the reaction their exhilarating music and confrontational behaviour received from the British public.
Programme 4: Take Three Chords
Here we look at the myriad of bands that emerged taking punk's Do It Yourself ethic literally. This episode also covers the fashion, music and graphics - looking at designers who developed the punk graphic style; fashion designers such as Westwood and not forgetting the birth of the fanzine culture.
Programme 5: A Riot Of Your Own
An outraged cry against the rising right wing sentiment in the country and a counter to National Front marches, organisations like the Anti Nazi League and Rock Against Racism formed. The band leading the way in energising punk in a political sense was The Clash, who played an integral role in the Rock Against Racism movement (as did many other punk groups), taking the stage alongside groups like Aswad and further cementing the links between punk and reggae. Anarcho-punk bands like Crass also began to emerge, taking on board anti-nuclear and vegetarian causes in opposition to the right wing politics of Oi! Bands. We discuss the political confusion caused by the mass of ideas thrown into the air by punk.
