They Introduced Me to Wog. Green Wog.

Outside of The Clash. And The Sex Pistols. There was never a lot of love for the UK. UK punk. Specifically.

The preference was always Stateside.

Sure. The Exploited. The Damned. UK Subs. Subhumans. Known quantities. But a need to purchase?

Around the turn of the century. The decision was made to re-examine the music. Of the era.

I emailed Jamie. He. Being more "punk." Less "hardcore." Crust? Fitting.

"What are some older UK punk bands I should check out?"

"Cock Sparrer. Sham 69. Stiff Little Fingers."

Stiff Little Fingers - Nobody's Heroes
. Acquired on eBay. Imagine my surprise. Hailing from Northern Ireland.
