'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' is the fantastic and groundbreaking debut studio album by English hardcore punk band Discharge, released in May 1982
Next we have the CDMX-based early new wave/post-punk band Size with “GoGo Girl”. They were only together for a few short years but their impact on Mexican music is pretty undeniable #RetroView#Size#80smusic#punk
Next we have the legendary punk goddess Alice Bag with the anti-ageism anthem “Se Cree Joven”. She’s still rocking at 65 yrs young! #RetroView#AliceBag#punk
