saw em the other day at Bpool , the sound was dreadful in the main hall but they were tight. Could be a bit more tuneful though...

Cool, didn`t know they still played, was Ed Shred on vocals? i remember seeing them at fulham kings head i think, and standing next to John Walters (he stood out like a sore thumb)

They reformed not so long ago iirc. Must go and see them for old times sake
yeah i`ll check when they`re playing, hopefully Tommy Stupid` s drumming hasn`t slowed down at all!
just thought of more bands ...
Minutemen - Firehose
Big Black - Rapeman - Shellac
Scratch Acid - Rapeman - Jesus Lizard
my favourite Scratch Acid tune
stupid dogbot
Haughty and Superior
some of the greatest bands ever in that list, but stretching the "punk" tag

Haughty and Superior
I'd hazard a guess it's the Shellacs n Jesus Lizards you mean?

"Punk" seems to be quite a wide concept in this thread, but i would
consider Minutemen, Big Black and Scratch Acid more "punk" that a few bands listed here - certainly in attitude and ethics, if not strictly musicwise.

It's grim up north (London)
Alternatively
XTC - Shriekback (Barry Andrews being XTC's keyboardist)
I might also hazard XTC -> The Dukes of Stratosphear, but that could be cheating
+ Stratford Mercenaries
The Unwanted - The Specimen
+ the Psychedelic Furs, not strictly formed by, but everyone else is cheating
And the Unwanted aren't famous either
I'm gonna add: Henrietta Collins & The Wife-Beating Child-Haters

Dont walk away in silence
manager(?) was in Rude Boy apparently (which probably explains Take It quoting from Joe's Tune or whatever the fuck that track that isn't Let The Good Times Roll is actually called)
The Clash - Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

sounds intriguing, i`ll have to check them out
some good tracks on the album, just listened to it. i got Hot Animal Machine when it came out but this passed me by
Maggot
The Cake of Liberty
who was in the Ruts and Alabama 3?
strummerville
vinyl lover
Seggs, bass player.
Topper Headon played on a Flowered Up Track but think it was more due to a shared love of smack than anything else.
and stretching the 'great' tag!!
by far the best punk book is NO MORE HEROES by Alex Ogg which is brilliantly written and tells you where people ended up etc, many of em in telly
Speaking of which i saw the Cravats at the weekend (singer is an extra for Eastenders i hear, not that i ever watch it)
