A fun an interesting band. I hope you enjoy.

Lagwagon

A classic from the west coast that is still running strong. And again, if you&#39;re looking for a good fiction book with a lot of nods to the world of music and punk rock, check out <a href="https://www.lisacmichaud.com/novels" rel="nofollow">Slanted and Disenchanted</a> by Lisa Czarina Michaud. I couldn&#39;t put it down.

Social Distortion

A big one to start with and one of the pioneers of New York punk. On a side note, if you&#39;re looking for a great fiction story to read, check out <a href="https://www.lisacmichaud.com/novels" rel="nofollow">Slanted and Disenchanted</a> by my friend Lisa Czarina Michaud. It is a fantastic read and I couldn&#39;t recommend it enough.

Finishing off season one, we have Adolescents. A killer band that has put out a fair share of albums despite multiple lineup changes and being broken up for the entirety of the 90&#39;s Website: Letstalkpunk.comTwitter: @Lets_talk_punkFacebook: facebook.com/lets-talk-punk-rockE-mail: letstalkpunkrock@gmail.comMerch: teepublic.com/user/let-s-talk-punk-rockPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkpunkrockDonate: https://ko-fi.com/letstalkpunkrock

A short episode on a short-lived band that helped bring ska-punk into the focus of the 1990s. Tune in to find out what Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman were up to before forming Rancid.

A band that has been around since the early 80s and is still going strong. These guys have given us crazy stories and wacky antics. They are one of the most successful punk bands to never sign to a major label.

Another great punk band that faced its own difficulties through a schism in the punk scene. From Australia to Gilman Street to the world, the Distillers put out 3 terrific albums and as we&#39;ll see, may be back for more.Website: Letstalkpunk.comTwitter: @Lets_talk_punkFacebook: facebook.com/lets-talk-punk-rockE-mail: letstalkpunkrock@gmail.comMerch: teepublic.com/user/let-s-talk-punk-rockPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkpunkrockDonate: https://ko-fi.com/letstalkpunkrock

We&#39;re taking a look at one band who claimed first time and time again. First UK punk band to put out a single, to put out an album, to tour outside of London, to tour the United States, to reform after a breakup, and to have an official book about them. These guys have continued to grow and adapt and are still playing after 40 years of hard work. It&#39;s The Damned.Corrections: At one point I misspoke and refer to Captain Sensible as having a Happy Feet persona when it should be Happy Talk. I don&#39;t believe he ever dressed as a dancing penguin, but I wouldn&#39;t put it past him either.Website: letstalkpunk.comTwitter: @Lets_talk_punkFacebook: facebook.com/lets-talk-punk-rockE-mail: letstalkpunkrock@gmail.comMerch: teepublic.com/user/let-s-talk-punk-rockPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkpunkrockDonate: https://ko-fi.com/letstalkpunkrock

Following the very out there and bumpy ride that is The X-Ray Spex, we see how fame can get to a person and how the industry can really take advantage of a group of young kids just looking to make some music.Website: letstalkpunk.comTwitter: @Lets_talk_punkFacebook: facebook.com/lets-talk-punk-rockE-mail: letstalkpunkrock@gmail.comMerch: teepublic.com/user/let-s-talk-punk-rockPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkpunkrockDonate: https://ko-fi.com/letstalkpunkrock
