In England, the story is that the damned released the first punk single, new rose, in September 1976. The fact is that the saints released the single, I'm stranded, a month earlier. Yes it was an Aussie band who released the first ever punk single. This is a well known fact that the British media like to ignore.
the pistols couldnt hold a fucking burnt out match to these guys. are you fucking serious? this shit is real. not some made up costume bullshit rocknroll. these guys are one of the best ever. next
Your obviously have an acquired, revisionist view of the the 'Pistols importance..first, you didn't experience the extraordinary reaction in Britian to the JR, second, you've read a revisionist critique or five of MM & have swallowed them. FYI, the Pistols temporarily turned the global spotlight on British society....by comparison the Saints turned on the lights in their own Brisbane suburban bedrooms...oh yeh, and in the eyes of globally irrelevant, Antipodean wanna-be 'rebels'.
ok, ok..the pistols had the hype and some good songs, but notoriety was their fame...dont knock the saints....do yu hav eto be global to be relevant? methinks not..are the stems, gurus, birdman widely acclaimed globally - not nearly enough, but very relevant...

So this is the famous Aussie punk band...big let down,man...The 'Pistols railed against the repression in British society. What are these guys protesting?..sounds like against a change in the Brisbane bus timetable...or maybe they had to be home early from school... this isn't punk, man...Johnny Rotten & the Pistols energy is punk...this is 70's Brisbane suburban garage.
Oooooh...you really know how to hurt, you big awful, tone deaf, software engineer from Grand Rapids. You're gonna start a band, are you??? In your dreams... your Gonerfest gems are further evidence of the fact that good taste is it own reward.
Hey kev...the pisto9ls managed 1 great record...these guys fired 3...you sound like an IGNORANT FUCK....aLL fOOLS DAY (1986) WAS WICKED ALSO....when u get out of rehab look up Ed Keuppers solo work...don't forget the Aints...save us all the favour I'll lend ye a belt
Hey Craw..you shouldn't drink beer while you comment..it obviously affects you're judgement..check out my comments to lobsterjib below & learn something for once...it must be hard being a former social rebel living in White Cliffs...although I hear WC was once a hotbed of social commentary!!! PS: I'll bet you can't whistle...Venus in Furs... really??!!??
example: Jonathan Richman.Punk like f**k! AND he sang about the ice cream man!
