Probably their best song. I like the clash, but for me the fall into the category of soft punk, almost verging into ska at times (which i also like). Sunderland has had a few punl bands.

One punk band I forgot about was The Ruts. I went to school with a lass who ****ed off with the singer when she was only 15.
The topic is about bands and punk ,started by Joe , I post when i like ,and what i like ,if you dont like it ..............tough
no you misunderstand billy ,the conception of punk was based around these two bands ,anyway brilliant times ,started work in 69 so it all fell into place regarding music ,dare i say being young.
What constitutes a punk band? Is it their political views or their sound? I havn't heard any underground stuff and was too young in the late 70s to be arsed about music. The mainstream old punk stuff that gets churned out on radio nowadays sounds like pop / soft rock. My favourite punk band.....Green Day.....
