Live Ledge #365: British Punk January - May 1979
This first edition of these shows is devoted to the first few months of British punk (and/or punk-related) singles released between January and May 1979. There's quite a few big names (Members, Generation X, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, Clash, etc.) but also a number of bands that wasn't around for very long (Sods, Blank Students, etc.). There are also songs featuring artists later known for other bands, including future members of the Waterboys and Big Country.
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...or
