i was born after punk died but that first song on the ATV album before ATV, the live one, i think that is probably what punk was like to be there!

Do Television qualify as a punk band in any way though? Great as they are, they were basically an art-rock outfit who happened to play at CBGBs the same time as the Ramones. They're no more punk than Talking Heads.

You're the first person i've seen that didn't follow "Television" with "fucking shite"
Well done!

2008 is Year Zero. punk is dead, rock and roll is dead, disco is dead, house music is dead.

What are they like?

 

[rutabowa]

Guitar Wolf is more very noisy rock and roll than punk I would say it's all subjective though isn't it.

 

[trevhagl]

I don't like many of those bands unless they have great tunes like The Accidents or The Bones
