RARsheffield Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi i was a punk (still am in most respects apart from the hair ) from about 1983, i missed the 1st wave, and some of the 2nd wave . i started off into bands like GBH, exploited, mau maus and discharge, aswell as OI! then got more into the anarcho scene, crass, conflict, subhumans. which then led onto the crusty / grindcore scene, which in turn led onto the reggae/hippy, rave / drum and bass scenes. Did you go to Beaver Hill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one a few years back and always had difficulties getting it to stand up straight. :-) my mum, and a mate (after i left home) used to back comb it for me, then id spray "hard rock" hairspray on it while hanging my head downwards and using both hands to smooth it downards (upwards if you know what i mean lol) the hairsprays prolly why im now balding down the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tone78 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Kate, I am the guy who has written the Punk book 'Our Generation'...you will get some great stories from East bank (one of my books contributors) and if you want any info from myself about that era, get in touch with me and I will also help. There are quite a few knowledgable people on here who were around so pm a few and I reckon you will get most of the info that you need.
