Initially playing a raw, primitive style of rock and roll, the Stooges sold few records in their original incarnation and gained a reputation for their confrontational performances, which often involved acts of self-mutilation by Pop. He had a long collaborative and personal friendship with David Bowie over the course of his career, beginning with the Stooges' album Raw Power in 1973. With both musicians having relocated to West Berlin to wean themselves off their respective drug addictions, Pop began his solo career by collaborating with Bowie on the 1977 albums The Idiot and Lust for Life with Pop usually contributing the lyrics. Throughout his career, Pop is well known for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics, poetic lyrics and distinctive voice. He was one of the first performers to do a stage-dive and popularized the activity. Pop, who traditionally (but not exclusively) performs bare-chested, also performed such stage theatrics as rolling around in broken glass and exposing himself to the crowd.

Arista remastered Graham Parker's masterpiece, Squeezing Out Sparks, for CD reissue, adding the previously promotional-only live album Live Sparks as an added bonus. Though it is somewhat disconcerting to hear the same songs in the same order in a row, it's an excellent addition for hardcore collectors, especially since the sound on the original album is considerably improved. And, Live Sparks is a nervy, energetic live recording, especially with the addition of "I Want You Back (Alive)" and "Mercury Poisoning".

Residing on Neal Street, Covent Garden this Rather Dingy Gay Club's One Year Sacrifice to the Emerging Punk Scene and the Contribution it Made as a Launch Pad Cannot Be Overstated. From Late '76 Up Until January 1978, the Roxy Club Played Host to Many Bands that to this Day, have a Lasting Influence Upon the Punk Scene…

The Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene. Scoring some 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning four decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving and most "continuously successful" bands to have originated in the UK punk scene of the mid to late 1970s. Access All Areas is a compilation of live tracks recorded by The Stranglers during their 1995 UK tour. It is also the name of a hacking community that met in London UK on an annual basis. Originally commissioned by SIS UK (the Stranglers Information Service) and released in 1996, this album has since been re-released (in 1998) on the VoicePrint label.

2011 album from the multi-cultural band who combine Dancehall, Dub beats, Ragga and Punk Rock influences with hard hitting lyrics. A History of Now pushes the boundaries and asks questions while being different musically from previous releases. With the sound more expanded, it proves to be the band's most cohesive, uplifting masterpiece of their career. ADF is proud of what they have achieved, Steve Chandra Savale comments "in the 16 years of the band we have lived through a lot of change, how we make music, how we relate to people, we're completely transformed and this is a good way to mark that artistically."

If there was ever any question about pop punk’s continued popularity, New Found Glory is proof that the youthful genre never went away. After 23 years together, the Florida band has maintained relevancy by staying loyal to their peppy Warped Tour sound and their fans, and Forever and Ever x Infinity, their tenth studio album, shows them at their most refined. Singer Jordan Pundik’s joyful, nasal vocal tone has only become more distinguished, and the band has mastered what made them so distinctive in the first place: palm-muted power chords and gang vocals (“Nothing to Say”), nerdy pop culture references (“Scarier Than Jason Voorhees at a Campfire”), and playful self-deprecation (“Double Chin for the Win”) alongside assurances that everything is going to be okay (“Shook by Your Shaved Head”). These are songs meant to elicit the same rush as a school-age crush, just like New Found Glory songs always have.

Fear Of Dirt Vol. 1: An Eastern Copulation is a 1992 compilation from Mysophonic Records, a label from eastern Washington State whose name translates to the title of this CD. It features music from Motherload, Crown, The Fumes, Maybe Days, Small, Waterman's Hollow, and another band.

The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum is the fifth studio album by American rock band L7, released on February 25, 1997 by Slash Records in collaboration with Reprise Records. The band recorded most of the album as a trio formed by founding members Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner, and longtime drummer Demetra Plakas, following the departure of bassist Jennifer Finch. The album marks a departure from the tough rock style of its predecessors to a slower and more adventorous style. The album received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its attitude-filled lyrics and more liberating style compared to previous L7 albums.

Trompe le Monde is the fourth studio album by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released on September 23, 1991 on 4AD in the United Kingdom and Elektra Records in the United States. After the surf-pop of Bossanova (1990), the band returned to the abrasive sound of the band's earlier releases. Bonus Tracks 16 to 19 recorded live at Muziekcentrum Vredenburg, Utrecht on 25th September 1990 for VPRO Radio 3, Holland.

She was the teenage siren from Akron, Ohio that Jake Riviera signed to Stiff Records in the 1970's at the height of the new wave. She enjoyed the backing of some fantastic bands like The Records, The Rumour (also doubling backing Graham Parker) and Fingerprintz, who would go on to record 4 albums of their own. (If you listen closely, you can hear labelmate Lene Lovich singing backup as well!) Being in such esteemed company, she gained street cred by covering Elvis Costello's "Stranger In The House" (a rarity included with initial copies of his second album) and hitting with singles like a cover of "B-A-B-Y", "Who Does Lisa Like", "Suspended Animation", "Pin A Medal On Mary" and more. In days long before American Idol was even conceived, Sweet stands out as one of the genuine vocal artists and brightest hightlights of the 70's new wave/post-punk era.

Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album. Their bracing follow-up, Fun House portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever. Each immortal album is now remastered and twice as amazing with a second disc of rarities and previously unreleased tracks.

29-track, 2-CD remastered career spanning set from MICHAEL MONROE. Icon, song-writer and one of rock's most celebrated front-men since 1979 when he played a central role in Hanoi Rocks - legendary Finnish glam-punk heroes. Previously unreleased songs include It's A Lie', with Stiv Bators (Dead Boys) `Fist Fulla Dynamite', `Simpletown', the new single `One Foot Outta The Grave' & a never-before-released 2nd version of the Steppenwolf cover 'Magic Carpet Ride' feat. Slash.

Guts is a retrospective compilation album by John Cale, released by Island Records in February 1977. It is perhaps most notable for including the songs "Leaving It Up To You", which was deleted from Helen of Troy, and the previously unreleased "Mary Lou". It was compiled by Howard Thompson.

Madstock! is a live album by ska/pop band Madness, released on 2 November 1992. The album includes highlights from Madness' first concerts since their disbanding in 1986, on 8 and 9 August 1992 at Finsbury Park in London. The bill included Flowered Up, Gallon Drunk, Ian Dury and The Blockheads, Morrissey and Madness. At the Saturday show, Morrissey wrapped himself in a Union Jack flag, attracting a group of right-wing types to gather close to the stage. This controversy ended up garnering more attention than the re-union of Madness. The album reached #22 in the UK album charts. "The Harder They Come", a cover of the Jimmy Cliff song, was released as the only single off this album and reached #44 in the UK charts.

I Used To Be Pretty is the 2019 album by Hollywood punksters The Flesh Eaters. Yep Roc are the MASTAHS!
