Punk and New Wave thread.

i absolutely adore the music of sunny war.

whether she can be described as punk is up for conversation,
possibly punk folk, fuck knows,
but she has longsince declared her influences are punk.

i'm posting this because, from her new album,
armageddon in a summer dress,
released today,
one of her great heroes has joined in...

This one shows the inside of Cargo Studios (as it was called years ago) now and it is still a recording studio which is great. Doesn't mention the Chameleons though who recorded Script of the Bridge there

Thankfully I got see the original line-up at the Apollo reunion show in 2022. I was a little too young for the 76-77 line-up and doing other things for the 89 one.

BJ was a maestro on guitar and with the 1st album brought the raw energy of punk onto vinyl.

RIP Brian.
