1:30 this is an example of someone talking out of their ass.

[tblspn]

the guy @9:15 is Dugald Mackenzie, who sang in Sick Things and (later) Venom P. Stinger eg. lookup "Walking About" ('88) great clip

[Enshidia]

What is the song @4:35. I'm not sure what its called.

[Enshidia]

@tarquinfarquhar Probably the NDW movement. It has some roots in punk. I'm no expert, but that involved a lot of younger youth fueled bands.

6:22 chap hits it right on the nail.
