Transmission 2509

Not being a dedicated follower of fashion, I didn't have a Beatle haircut in '64 when I was absorbing the English Invasion, didn't grow it out it '69 when I was into West Coast Psychedelia and didn't dye it orange during my '71 Glam Rock stage! In the second half of the 70's, I was right in the middle of the burgeoning Punk Rock explosion as a DJ at the legendary WTBS/WMBR, Cambridge and I did not pierce my face with a safety pin, wear a dog collar or sport a Mohawk! It was the music, not the scene that sucked me in and kicked me in the ass. I still enjoyed all the bands that were important to me in my earlier formative years - but something definitely changed. 30 plus years later, the sound is still raw, vibrant, energizing, infectious and loud if you're doing it right!

Turn up Venus & The Razor Blades, Mission Of Burma, Crime, The Sex Pistols, The Avengers, Buzzcocks, DNA, Wreckless Eric, Elvis Costello, X, The Reds, The Damned, The Nuns, The Ramones, Stiff Little Fingers, The Saints, The Clash, The Germs and Generation X. I was a punk before you were a punk!
