Whilst we are still waiting for our first concert of 2025, we thought we’d ask you guys a question?
Who is your favourite punk band and why? This could be the classic bands such as Ramones, The Clash and Sex Pistols or more modern day bands like Green Day, Blink 182 and The Offspring, let us know in the comments.

They were absolutely awful, as I saw it as an older teen, but The Legionnaires’ Disease, out of Houston, Texas, was around in punk’s beginnings, late 70s. My big sister Gwen played acoustic guitar, and Jerry Duncan was the lead singer. One of their songs was called “Who Killed Martha Mitchell”, and he would scream that out like he was going to bring down the government with the song. They all got off heroin and ended up in Humboldt County in northern California on a clandestine pot farm in a hunt and hide war that police commandos had declared, helicopters strafing the place, fighter jets flying low through the valley trying to scare everybody, and they’d raid a farm and take whatever they wanted, take the moms and pops to jail, their kids screaming and crying, and they’d burn all the confiscated weed once a year in a big to do they did. Anyway, who killed Martha Mitchell indeed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xatnzjFnzzA That’s a link to it. It’s the band I have a history with, since my big sister was in it, and her being a heroin addict was largely because of that band, and that really makes you worry when you’re a kid, about your big sister I mean. She was the rhythm guitar player, not the acoustic one like I said, and they all settled in Mendocino County, on Spyrock Mountain, not in Humboldt. (I settled in Humboldt, for awhile.) The police commandos were named C.A.M.P. (campaign against marijuana production), and they wouldn’t always take both the mom and pop but take the person who said they owned the weed, but they always scared the children.
I don’t want to sound insincere. I am not someone who brags about stuff, but I’ve been going to shows since the 80s so I’ve been blessed with opportunities. Some of the most iconic shows I saw of artists in their prime have been Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Prince, Pink Floyd, R.E.M., The Cure. I saw Bon Jovi on their first arena tour. Later in life some of my faves I got to see are Steely Dan, Elvis Costello, Journey, Earth Wind and Fire, P Funk. Back in the 80s and early 90s I went to hundreds of small club shows. Some of the biggest that I saw before they were super famous were Public Enemy, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fugazi, Soul Asylum, Jane’s Addiction, The Pixies, Soundgarden. It’s crazy when I think back and write this list. I feel lucky to have been able to see all that music.
