About Punk / Hardcore

Punk exploded in the mid-1970s as a reaction to bloated rock: the Ramones in New York, the Sex Pistols and the Clash in London, with fast, short, loud songs and a do-it-yourself attitude. In the early 80s American bands like Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, Minutemen and Descendents sped it up into hardcore and built a national underground of independent labels, zines and all-ages shows.

From there it split into everything below: pop punk's hooks, skate punk's speed, ska punk's horns, post-hardcore's ambition, and Celtic punk bands like Flogging Molly. Crass, Bad Religion and NOFX show how long the DIY spirit has lasted.

Collecting Punk / Hardcore

Punk is a 7-inch and small-label culture, so original singles, first pressings and demos are some of the most sought-after records in the scene. The classics are widely reissued, and indie labels keep new bands in print with limited colored runs that sell out fast.
