Michael Bennett commented on Bruce Brodeen's group 70s Punk - Gabba Gabba Hey!"The first punk record in the UK was by The Damned. Unless you count Eddie and the Hot Rods. I believe the first Damned album came out in 1976, the Pistols a year later."
Michael Bennett commented on Bruce Brodeen's group 70s Punk - Gabba Gabba Hey!"Spiral Scratch was the first DIY punk record. Buzzcocks did not form until after the Sex Pistols performed in Manchester. Sommer made his assertion after Jack Rabid introduced Sommer to a 1974 live recording of The Saints, which was very similar to…"
Michael Bennett commented on Bruce Brodeen's group 70s Punk - Gabba Gabba Hey!"Tim Sommer had a great piece in the Big Takeover about what was the first punk record.
