Black Flag – "Six Pack" (1981)
7" 45 RPM
Original SST pressing with black & white cover
This class punk anthem reminds me of the initial appeal I found in punk rock and underground music in general. Savage mockery of the worst parts of popular American culture, as it was at the time anyway.
Angry outsiders. The innately anti-authoritarian. These are my people!
Released 43 years ago this month, as @historyofpunkrock noted recently 👊

Millennial Punk – Eine Subkultur in Zeiten der Digitalisierung
In den 90er-Jahren wurde der Punk für tot erklärt, dabei ging es für die Generation der Millennials damals erst richtig los. In dem Vierteiler performen 69 Szene-Akteur*innen, u.a. Bands wie die Donots, Akne Kid Joe und Die Toten Hosen über Tamagotchis, illegale Downloads und politischen Widerstand. Punk’s not dead!
Happy Birthday to Dez Paul Cadena, American punk rock singer and guitarist for hardcore punk band Black Flag and the Misfits, born on this day in 1961, Newark, NJ
I've talked about Indianapolis' scuzz-punk kings BINGO BOYS before, but today I want to highlight their 2021 record 'More'. These songs are ALL bangers, as usual (fun fact about Bingo Boys, they don't even know how to write bad songs that aren't infectiously catchy).
I hope to someday be able to write a song that is as damn good as 'Glow' or 'Spidersac' here -- these tunes SMOKE. 🔥

In memory of the great Wendy O. Williams, American singer, songwriter, actress and lead singer of the punk rock band Plasmatics, born on this day in 1949, Webster, New York
