    Ah REAL punk. I remember the days. Any band now like Fall Out Boy or Billy Talent who think that they are doing something raw should check these bands out to find out how it was really done.

    So sad that the first pic is what Johnny Rotten called “the Perry Como of Punk”.

    Awesome pics, Ent. Henry Rollins is probably still wearing those same shorts.

    And ITA, 11:01, My Chemical Fallout Boy and all his toy friends can go suck a dick. (Oh, I think he beat me to it!)

    Viva Punk!!! Punk was awesome. I always regretted I was a bit too young back then to truly enjoy it.

    Thanks, ENT for posting this--love it.

    Funny you mention it -- Teenage Head just played here in Vancouver. I won one of their albums at a sock hop back in high school. Heh.

    Yeah they just played here in Edmonton. Sadly I couldn't make it to their show.
    You won a record at a sock hop? A sock hop? Wow. I thought sock hops only happened on Happy Days. Now I'm really envious.
