There was a time when music was new, raw and full of power, the age of Punk Rock. Some will say it was the 70's, but without a doubt the 80's was the decade of the punk rock explosion. Here are three punk tunes from the 80's that will bring back some fond mosh pit memories.
First up, Bad Brains. Bad Brains were and all black punk band that hit hard. All talented musicians, they belted out unique tunes with a furious HR on vocals. I was lucky enough to see them live and almost broke some bones the pit was so insane. Have a listen.
Bad Brains - Big Takeover (Live At CBGB's 1982)
The next band was so influential Metallica covers one of their songs as an ode to them. They were a shock, horror band with hint's of Elvis and 50's sci-fi. You have seen their Crimson Ghost skull print on t-shirts all over the world, but do you know The Misfits?
Misfits - Where Eagles Dare
Of course we can't forget the UK. One of the best 80's UK punk bands was The Subhumans, I mean they sung about Mickey Mouse.
Subhumans - Mickey Mouse Is Dead
Wildcard Tune
Then, in the mid 80's something started to change, punk love songs? Enter the Descendents. One of the first pop punk bands in the mid 80's! Skateboards, girlfriends, and partying.
The Descendents - Wendy
The rest is history.
Thanks for listening!
