Live Ledge #357: Europe 1978

Tonight marks the final show devoted to the year that influenced me more than any other. Yes, it's all about 1978, but tonight features music I have to admit I never heard until I obtained some great punk compilations earlier this year.

England and the U.S. may get all the publicity, but punk rock was a worldwide phenomenon. Tonight's show heads into the mainland of Europe and samples tracks from countries such as Germany, France, Belgium, and all of Scandinavia. I may not understand the lyrics on the majority of these tracks, but most of these are every bit as good as the commonly heard tracks from this era.

Special thanks goes to my Facebook friends, who suggested a few of tonight's songs, including the great singles by Jay-Bees and Golden Cups. As always, I hope everybody discovers a band or two they've never heard before! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher.
