So I’ve switched to some classic America punk from the late 70’s today. And to me this is what punk is all about; short, fast songs, with catchy guitar and bass riffs, semi political lyrics that you can’t always make out, and a rhythym that makes you want to bounce around. Crammed with short, catchy songs, this album in under 40 minutes, but has 16 tracks worth of proper punk.

I’d heard of The Germs, but only because the guitarist joined the Foo Fighters later on, I’d never heard anything by them. This was their only album, but you can feel the influence they had on other later bands. There was a bit at the end of the track Media Blitz that even reminded me of White Zombie.

Good to listen to, made me want to get back into punk a little as well.
