Definitive first Punk song

The first punk track ever is Zakary Thaks “bad girl” from Corpus ChristI TX. I’m sick of nobody citing this track as the first ever, it just is.

I’ll die on this hill. It’s not an extremely important topic but I don’t think Los Saicos or The Sonics are distinctly punk. Elements of punk, sure.

if we’re going to argue elmental parts and pieces then let’s just say Link Wray was first.

War Pigs "Breakfast Music" Some new Garage Punk from a couple kids from Laurel Canyon Doing some topical stuff. Songs like "Banned Books" ,"No Fascists " "Revolution Rockers" and even a fun version of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walking " The singer/ guitarist ( Iggy) is in 7th grade

The Drummer (Lolo) is in 3rd grade. It's a lot more fun than I'm making it sound.They are on bandcamp I think as well . .worth a listen imo.

The interrupters have quietly dropped out of sublime fest

www.sublimefest.com

Much like with the infowars situation, the interrupters are choosing not to comment at all rather than issue any sort of statement.

The Atari’s have also dropped off the Portland show but are still slated to appear in SLC

Cold As Life lead singer's killer finally caught in Panama...

Richard Werstine has been arrested overseas after spending decades on the run from federal authorities after the killing of his roommate Rodney Barger (Rawn Beauty), the frontman of Detroit punk rock/hardcore band Cold As Life

Richard Werstine was taken into custody in Panama by the US Marshals Service with assistance from local authorities.

Werstine was originally arrested and charged days after the 1993 murder of Rodney Barger (then just 23-year-old), whom was shot to death in his sleep.

Werstine failed to appear for his trial in 1994 and another arrest warrant for him was issued in June of that year.

For the next 32 years, Werstine used a series of aliases to evade capture, according to the US Marshals Service. 

In May 2022, when the US Marshals took over the investigation, they discovered that Werstine had been arrested multiple times under fake names over the years. Authorities simply never connected the dots to figure out who he really was, federal investigators said.

'He was a ghost since '94,' a federal source said.
'He was very cunning, very crafty while on the run.' 

He was detained in a dog park in Panama City without incident. He admitted to having fake identification documents and entering Panama illegally in 2005.

FINALLY, he's caught and brings some closure to Barger's family.

Cold As Life were originally active from 1988 to 2001, and went on to reunite in 2015, remaining active since.

Rare Screeching Weasel Music video

Filmed from my tv off an old VHS tape. I had this since around 1995 when a video teacher from a school I attended in Los Angeles saw me wearing a Screeching Weasel shirt . He had taught in Chicago and a student was friends with the band and made videos for them in his class. I combed through hours of high school videos and found this gem. I dubbed my copy from those tapes and has been in my closet ever since.

I NEED female punk band recs

My favorite punk band definitely is x-ray specs. But, other than le Tigre, I haven’t been able to find that style of squeaky punk/ska bands. Especially ones with women singers. Do you guys know any good ones?

hello everyone, I'm starting to get into punk music and the first band I found is Minor Threat. I've been quite obsessed with them and am relistening to their (unfortunately short) discography, but I'm wondering if there are any similar bands. any recommendations are greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
