Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio
 Punk Etcetera
This year is the 50th anniversary of the release of what is known (by many) as the first ever Punk single: 'New Rose' by The Damned (released on 22nd October 1976 on Stiff Records).
When considering punk there is so much that is excellent that if you cut the programme too short you risk leaving out loads of great stuff... In this programme X-Ray Moon covers not only the obvious groups that should be in any programme on Punk, such as the Clash and Stiff Little Fingers , but also some of the less well known groups from approximately the same period of time: Icons of Filth , Bérurier Noir , and, Third World War for instance... Hence, this is P-P-P-Punk...
Sections in the programme - non-linear and not necessarily well-defined - include French Punk, American pre-76 Punk, and Precursors to Punk. X-Ray Moon reminds us that this programme is not a completest transmission, and is - rightly or wrongly - more or less the way he see things.
This is 'PUNK ETCETERA: 50th Anniversary of Punk'.
