Kill All Hippies - Castle Music Punk sampler

LA RECENSIONE

In the now distant October 2001, a compilation featuring the best punk tracks was released, those that marked the punk era, with all the bands that appear being from the working class, reflecting the heroin injected into veins and the constant roller coaster confrontations in London pubs.
Among the most famous names are the Sex Pistols to Sham 69, from 999 to X Ray Spex, from The Undertones to Buzzocks, but also lesser-known names in the scene like Buzzcocks and The New York Dolls.
A CD complete with every type of nuance, from the oi punk of Sham to the chaotic and tormented punk of the Sex Pistols, an exceptional collection that traces the path of the most disheveled music ever made.

A significant title that expresses the idea behind the punk anthem of the time "kill all hippies", a musical revolution, a distorted note within a music industry that only produced heaps of prom night rubbish, one could say that true rock music was born here, before punk there were the rude boys and the mods, who reigned supreme, elbowing the rockers.
Street punk gave birth to oi, the music of skins, and from skins one fine day came anarchic and defiant kids who wore and dressed with fantastic irony that also reflected in their musical style.
A breathtaking collection, but it lacks The Clash, another punk icon of the 70s-80s, the legends that appear on this CD, needless to say, send shivers, a piece of history inside a collection that nicely polishes the boots to the leaders of a period that will never return (for better or worse.. as you prefer) but that profoundly marked music.
From these groups, the foundations for today's and yesterday's music will solidify.... as punk can be defined as from the day before yesterday, a separate thing wandering in the infinite musical sky and for some time playing on the radios to explode in every pub in the center of London and New York where the Rude Boys (Jamaican skins who took refuge in the USA) had fun smashing everything and smoking marijuana, but punk owes a thank you to R&B and the music of The Who where the foundations of a concept that will spread later until punk in the 70s begin.

The notable songs above all are "Anarchy In U.K." a renowned and historic song by the Sexy (Ajax) Pistols, "Borstal Breakout" by Sham 69, "True Confession" by Undertones, "Orgasm Addict" by the Buzzcocks, and what's more, a live version (an absurd mess),
for a twisted and distorted view of 70s musical history, I recommend this CD which is on sale at a very low price..... for true punx oi!

ded to: who is more punk than me if they dress punk, to the professor's bans on Saturday night, to Kobe-Bryant's driver's caps......sexydebaser at full blast
