Best Punk Bands

In the 1970s, a being from the stars – an angelic force – came to Earth and gave us Black Sabbath, the Sex Pistols, and the like. He left us with the sound of the human spirit strained by the effluvium of smokestacks, poison food, and war on international scales. But he left us. And the sound that raised a generation of wailing rebels went underground. Most assumed it died.

             

But it lives in the recordings of an obscure 1980s punk rock band called Electric Peace. Electric Peace carried the torch of that burned-out garage band sound that Ozzy Osbourne abandoned. They cut a few albums that are still cherished by a small, wizened group of fans.        

Today, they’re fanning the flame of punk rock by working as a record company in Reseda, CA. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

Electric Peace: The Only Punk Rock Band That Isn’t Something Else

You wanna be a big man? You wanna listen to a song called “Big Man” and feel like a big man. Yes, you do. But you’re not going to feel like a big man until you book a big band. No, not that damned thing you heard on the top 40 radio show.

You need a big band with a big sound, the kind of sound you haven’t heard since you were a little kid and your uncles were smoking to the sound of something you didn’t understand and still don’t to this very day.

I’m not going to sit here and try to convince you. Book Electric Peace. Get that feeling you didn’t understand when you were a kid. You’ll be a big man. You’ll sell tickets. You’ll sell drinks. And you’ll be a very big man
