Episode XIX - SoCal Punk and Hardcore Vol. 1
Manage episode 335227404 series 3009588
Southern California. The land of scenic beaches, beautiful people, never-ending sunshine... and one of the most vibrant and explosive music scenes to exist in the late 1970's and 1980's. It was a bastion of creativity consisting of kids that were, if only temporarily, putting down their surfboards and skate boards and picking up instruments. Once bands like the Ramones and The Damned started coming through LA, there was an explosion of bands that formed in the wake. And much like the melting pot that is Los Angeles, these bands pulled from a diverse range of influences creating a wide variety of approaches and sounds that would forever change punk, hardcore, and every other form of aggressive and extreme music to come... all the while sounding exactly like California.
So here you go. Here's 24 bands, some of which you may have never heard, that define SoCal punk rock, in my not-so-humble opinion.
