To most self-described punks, punk is way more than music, it’s a lifestyle, a philosophy and a way of looking and navigating the world. Some like me, find it later in life, but I always like to say, “I was a punk and didn’t realize it” (more on that some other time) and others, I’d say most, find the music and lifestyle appealing in their younger, usually teen years. Some claim to have grown out of it, “I used to be in punk music” or “I liked punk when I was a kid”, etc. which I find highly offensive because it suggests that punk is “kid stuff”. It is NOT. To those I say, you were never a punk in the 1st place, you were and are a poser, pure and simple. Once you are a punk, you are a punk for life. Maybe you don’t wear a mohawk anymore because your hair is thinning or maybe if in a band, you move on to more complex or dare I even say “commercially viable” genres of music. I say there’s no sin in trying to make a living from your music, your craft. But deep down, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) , Sting (The Police), Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers) , etc, etc. are all to some degree punks. I think they’d freely tell you that. Is this guy punk rock you think? For the guys from Birmingham, England, and Charged GBH, who’ve been putting out punk music since 1978 and relentlessly touring ALMOST non-stop for coming up on 40 years (WOW!), they were punk then, and are punk now. Here’s what our good friend Wikipedia says about them: WIKIPEDIA: GBH were early pioneers of English street punk, often nicknamed “UK82“, along with Discharge, Broken Bones, The Exploited, and The Varukers. GBH have gone on to influence several punk rock musicians.The name GBH was inspired by then-bassist Sean McCarthy’s trial for grievous bodily harm. Now the fact that I had to resort to Wikipedia to learn about a band I’ve seen play live no less than 3 times in the past 10 years, is telling. I knew little about GBH, other than they were legends, they were street punks from the UK and they had been around for a while (oh, and I love their music), and that was good enough for me. L to R: Ross Lomas (Author) & Colin Abrahall. Until, while perusing the merch table at this last concert at the Gramercy earlier this month, I stumbled across a couple of books amongst the Tshirts, patches, and buttons. Makes sense to me, a band has been around this long should have some incredible stories to tell. But it was still surprising because let’s face it, you gotta have your sh*& together to write a book and not that GBH doesn’t have it together but most bands, well, they play music and that’s all they do. Well someone did (have it together enough to write a book) and he’s the bass player Ross Lomas and he along with Steve Pottinger put out “City Baby – Surviving in Leather, Bristles, Studs, Punk Rock , and GBH”. I ended up buying the book on big old, evil Amazon after the fact, because I didn’t want to carry the book around with me the entire show and in case I decided to get in the pit and thrash around a bit, I wanted my hands free. But as soon as I got home, I ordered it up, and when it arrived commenced to reading immediately. I think I read it in a little over a week, forcing myself to put it down so I could sleep at night (I usually only read at night, nap time…yeah I take naps.. naps are very punk rock… and when I’m traveling and I haven’t been traveling since the book has been in my grubby little hands). The point is I found the book highly entertaining and informative and I’m a bigger GBH fan than ever now. But as soon as I got home, I ordered it up, and when it soon arrived commenced to reading immediately. I think I read it in a little over a week, forcing myself to put it down each night so I could get some sleep (I usually only read at night, nap time…yeah I take naps.. naps are very punk rock… and when I’m traveling and I haven’t been traveling since the book has been in my grubby little hands). The point is I found the book highly entertaining and informative and I’m a bigger GBH fan than ever now. Of course, it’s written from Ross’s POV, he is the author after all. Ross has seen his share of lows and highs and he doesn’t mind getting highly personal and introspective in the book, dealing with his humanity, weaknesses, failed relationships, etc. From what I can tell, GBH and punk music saved his life. I’ve heard that a few times when I interviewed folks about punk music, from fans to bands, punk music actually does save lives. It gives them meaning. I get it, though I’ve never been as low as Ross perhaps (yet), it’s helped save mine too. From what I can tell, GBH and punk music saved his life. When I interviewed folks about punk music, from fans to bands, punk music actually does save lives. It gives many folks more meaning to their lives. I get it, though I’ve never been as low as Ross perhaps (yet), it’s helped save mine too. What would my life be without travel, punk music, storytelling, and videography? I’d still have people who loved me, but sometimes that just isn’t enough. We all need a purpose, a mission and a passion in life, at least, if we’re not 100% focused on simply getting fed everyday like at least 1/3 of the planet (another post for another day). For Ross it was GBH. Someday I’d like to meet Ross, Colin, Jock and all the legendary lads from GBH in Birmingham, UK or wherever. Maybe film an interview or, if the show is still going, get them on Raw Travel , showing me around their hometown. The guys are working class musicians as best I can tell and they are still working it. A new CD “Momentum” is coming out in November 2017 and I’ll be downloading it for sure. Here is sneak listen from their forthcoming release “Momentum” City Baby: Surviving in Leather, Bristles, Studs, Punk Rock, and G.B.H.

Otto Sompank I always loved the simplicity and visceral feel of all forms of punk. From the Pistols take on the New York Dolls rock, or the UK Subs aggressive punk take on rhythm and blues. The stark reality Crass and the anarchist-punk scene was informed with aspects of obscure seventies rock too, for example Pete Wright’s prog bass lines in places. Granted. Perhaps the most famous and intense link to rock and punk was Motorhead. While their early output and LP’s definitely had a clear nod to punk (Lemmy playing for the Damned), they appealed to most punks back then with their sheer aggression and intensity. It’s clear Motorhead and Black Sabbath influenced a lot of street-punk and the ferocious tones of Discharge and their Scandinavian counterparts such as Riistetyt, Kaaos and Anti Cimex. The early links were there but the influence of late 1970s early 80s NWOBM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) and street punk, Discharge etc. in turn influenced Metallica, Anthrax and Exodus in the early eighties. Most of them can occasionally be seen sporting Discharge, Broken Bones and GBH shirts on their early record-sleeve pictures. Not only that, Newcastle band Venom were equally influential in the mix of new genre forms germinating in the early 1980s. One of the early examples of the incorporation of rock and metal into the UK punk scene came from Discharge.

  • Atom and His Package Possibly the Smallest Band on the List, Atom & His
    Atom and His Package Possibly the smallest band on the list, Atom & his Package consists of Adam Goren (Atom) and his package (a Yamaha music sequencer) make funny punk songs utilising many of of the package's hundreds of instruments about the metric system, the lead singer of Judas Priest and what Jewish people do on Christmas. Now moved on to other projects, Atom will remain the person who told the world Anarchy Means That I Litter, The Palestinians Are Not the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance Jackass, and If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're a ****. Ghost Mice With only two members in this folk/punk band their voices and their music can be heard along with such pride. This band is one of the greatest to come out of the scene because of their abrasive acoustic style. The band consists of a male guitarist (I don't know his name) and Hannah who plays the violin. They are successful and very well should be because it's hard to 99 when you have such little to work with. This band is off Plan It X records and they put on a fantastic show. Not only is the band one of the leaders of the new genre called folk/punk but I'm sure there is going to be very big things to come from them and it will always be from the heart. Defiance, Ohio Defiance, Ohio are perhaps one of the most compassionate and energetic leaders of the "folk/punk" movement. Their clever lyrics accompanied by fast, melodic, acoustic guitars make them very enjoyable to listen to.

  • The Music of Protest in Brazil Cynthia Machado Campos 1
    Before and After Exile: The Music of Protest in Brazil Cynthia Machado Campos 1. Reactions to the Dictatorship The Brazilian military dictatorship, established as a result of a coup d’état in March 1964, prompted a strong social reaction especially amongst the younger generation of Brazilians. Many students of Brazilian universities took to the streets to demonstrate against the government. The year 1968 was a decisive year in which political movements and demonstrations against the military regime emerged all over Brazil, showing widespread dissatisfaction with the military government. Most leaders of the political movement were young Before and After Exile: The Music of Protest in Brazil 2 people, aged between 18 and 30, as were the majority of the participants. The rebellion of these young people was generally regarded as a fight against the political dictatorship. Some of them adopted violence and used guns. The military government responded to their violence with more violence, imprisonment, censorship and torture, evidence of which can be seen in many testimonies and books written by ex-militants and ex-prisoners from the dictatorship period1. The big youth demonstrations at the end of 1968 meant inevitable confrontation with the police and resulted in stricter laws by the military government, such as AI5 (Institutional Act number 5)2. Others protesters, mainly artists and musicians, participated in the movement against the military dictatorship, some of them writing their songs and lyrics Cynthia Machado Campos 3 _______________________________________________________ as a call to arms against the government. One example is the song known as ‘Caminhando’ [Walking], also known as ‘Pra Não Dizer que Não Falei de Flores’ [Don’t say I didn’t speak about flowers], by Geraldo Vandré, which was released in 1968.
