Proves you don't have to look like Siouxie or Sex Pistols to be punk. You don't need tats, You don't need pierced eye brows, you don't need torn clothes. this is one of the first bands from the UK during the birth of punk. Clearly not as well known in the US. Though US bands started punk (such as the Ramon's) this is the sound people really think of when they hear Punk. ATV is 100x greater then Sex Pistols. I think Sex Pistol is a bit over rated.
@MrChameleon2010 YEAH but cmon The pistols and Siouxsie are real ffffnnn punk you can't deny it. THis sounds more like early Joy division, wich means early post punk if it could be said that way. The sex pistols weren't a pop band Even Johnny Rotten Says it in the song PIL by PIL. Cmon just because you know different punk bands than the hype, doesn't make it more real.
I fail to see how this can be described/labelled as POST punk. Am I missing something?

- I always cringe when I have to describe ATV as a "punk" band to kids who only know The Pistols [VERY over rated!].....................

@lodecus it´s because they are making reference to "Viva La Revolucion", a typic revolutionary slogan.
