History Hoxton Tom McCourt, a revival skinhead pictured in 1977 In the late 1950s the post-war economic boom led to an increase in disposable income among many young people. Some of those youths spent that income on new fashions popularized by American soul groups, British R&B bands, certain movie actors, and Carnaby Street clothing merchants.[3][4] These youths became known as mods, a youth subculture noted for its consumerism and devotion to fashion, music and scooters.[5] Mods of lesser means made do with practical clothing styles that suited their lifestyle and employment circumstances: work boots or army boots, straight-leg jeans or Sta-Prest trousers, button-down shirts, and braces (called suspenders in North America). When possible, these working class mods spent their money on suits and other sharp outfits to wear at dancehalls, where they enjoyed soul, ska, bluebeat and rocksteady music.[1][6] Around 1966, a schism developed between the peacock mods (also known as smooth mods), who were less violent and always wore the latest expensive clothes, and the hard mods (also known as gang mods, lemonheads or peanuts), who were identified by their shorter hair and more working class image.[7] These hard mods became commonly known as skinheads by about 1968.[8] Their short hair may have come about for practical reasons, since long hair can be a liability in industrial jobs and in streetfights. Skinheads may also have cut their hair short in defiance of the more middle class hippie culture.[9] In addition to retaining many mod influences, early skinheads were very interested in Jamaican rude boy styles and culture, especially the music: ska, rocksteady, and early reggae (before the tempo slowed down and lyrics became focused on topics like black nationalism and the Rastafari movement).[1][10][11] Skinhead culture became so popular by 1969 that even the rock band Slade temporarily adopted the look as a marketing strategy.[12][13][14] The subculture gai

A skinhead is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in London, England in the 1960s and then soon spread to other parts of the United Kingdom, and later to other countries around the world. Named for their close-cropped or shaven heads, the first skinheads were greatly influenced by West Indian (specifically Jamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle.[1] Originally, the skinhead subculture was mainly based on those elements, not politics or race, in fact many British Skinheads during the 1960s were Black. Eventually, political affiliations grew in significance for the skinhead subculture, and now the political spectrum within the subculture spans from far right to far left, although many skinheads describe themselves as apolitical. Contemporary skinhead fashions range from clean-cut 1960s mod-influenced styles to less-strict punk- and hardcore-influenced styles.[2

Formation, early years, first record (1990–1996) The band formed in 1990[2] when high school friends Mike (vocals) and Chad (drums) were joined by guitarist Renee, whom they had met through a musician wanted ad.[3] Their first bassist was a friend of Renee's named Brendan. The new group named themselves The Blanks after finding their minds blank as to what to name the band. Shortly thereafter, another band informed them that the Blanks name was already taken; to avoid conflict, they added '77 to their name in reference to punk rock's canonically accepted year of origin.[4] The original line-up remained until Brendan left in 1992. He was replaced by Geoff Kresge, who left the band after a six month tenure to rejoin his band AFI.[5] (Kresge would later go on to play in Tiger Army[6] and HorrorPops.) He was replaced in Blanks 77 by Tim from the Broken Heroes, who began performing live with the band after a single rehearsal.[7] The band recorded their first album, Killer Blanks, which was released first in Germany on the Nasty Vinyl label in 1995, and in the U.S. a year later in 1996 on Radical Records with four extra tracks.[8] Further releases, lineup changes and breakup (1997–2001) In 1997 Blanks 77 released a second album, Tanked and Pogoed.[9] Chad left the band in late 1997 and was replaced by Paul Russo from The Unseen, who filled in for two tours; the group ultimately settled on drummer Kid Lynch (formerly of Warzone and SFA). Their third full length, C.B.H., was released in 1998.[10] After an ill-fated tour in 1999, the band began to dissolve, finally doing so in 2001 upon Renee's departure.[11] Mike, Tim and Chad formed The S.D.A.B.s (Sex Drugs Alcohol Band), while Renee, Lynch and longtime roadie Dean Digaetano formed Dean Dean and the Sex Machines who released a LP.[12][13] Renee also joined the long-standing founding street punk group U.S. Chaos, replacing her deceased brother in the band.[14] Tim went on to play bass, and then later became the

U.S. Chaos wrote songs and rehearsed in a basement for months before they played their first concert. In 1981, when their singer English Ron quit, Jack Gibson recruited Alan "Skully" Skolski. In the winter of 1982/1983, U.S. Chaos rehearsed and wrote several songs. In March 1983, the band performed for the first time at a party at Aldo's Hideaway in Lyndhurst, NJ and many times at CBGB, as well as at City Gardens, in Trenton, New Jersey.[1] The lineup at this time was: Skolski on vocals, Gibson on bass, Gene on drums, Gary Reitmeyer on guitar and Brian Daley (HC) on rhythm guitar.[2] Their first release was We've Got the Weapons, a vinyl EP released in 1983. The production of the EP, including recording and printing by Ross Eliss, cost them $5,000, which was unheard of in the American punk scene at that time. Their second release was the single "Kill The Killers" b/w "Suicide" costing considerably more. This was later remastered by manager and producer Marty Munsch, from the first pressing disk plates, and re-released by Punk Rock Records and Punk-Core records as a limited co-release in 1996. Reitmeyer's departure from U.S. Chaos meant that the only original member of the band was Skolski. The band changed their name to The Chosen Few and wrote new material. This change coincided with the end of the first wave of US hardcore punk, with many bands changing their sounds or leaving the scene altogether. In 1992, U.S. Chaos reunited to perform at a party. The band continued this tradition every year until 1995, when they fully brought U.S. Chaos out of hiatus. Munsch, owner of Punk Rock Records would then become the organizations manager. This led to several more releases and a few movie appearances. From 1996 to 1997, the lineup was: Skolsky on vocals, Reitmeyer on guitar, Gibson on bass and Glenn 'Spikey' Mayer on drums. Mayer was later replaced by Eddie Enzyme (who had played in Fahrenheit 451 and The Undead). The band continued to play and release new mater

The Ramones were an American rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the punk rock movement in both the United States and, perhaps to a greater extent, in the United Kingdom. All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", although none of them were related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years.[1] In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert and disbanded.[2] Only a little more than eight years after the breakup, all three of the band's founding members—lead singer (and, at the time of founding, drummer) Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone—had died.[3][4][5] Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania.[6] However, recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now mentioned in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time[7] and VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.[8] In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only the Beatles.[9] On March 18, 2002, the Ramones—the three founders and drummers Tommy and Marky Ramone—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[1][10] In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.[11][12]

Violent Society is a punk rock band that formed in 1990. The band is based out of Philadelphia, PA. The band was formed in high school by two friends, Mike (Mick), Pat (Pat Society) and drummer Andy Petrov. Bill (Dirty Rotten Bill) and Pat Kelly filled out the lineup in 1990/91. Dave (Huevos) replaced Bill shortly before recording the album. "Not Enjoyin' It" In 1996 "The Rise of Punk" album was released. The year 1997 saw the release of "Times of Distraught" and in 1999, "Separation is Killing Us," the final album before breaking up. Violent Society has toured the United States and Europe numerous times. The band primarily stopped playing together in 2003, occasionally performing "reunion" shows from. However, the band has since regrouped in 2008 with the current lineup. 2010 saw a return to touring with a West Coast tour in June along with the release of "We Don't Believe" on Creep Records. The band recently recorded new material for a soon-to-be-released Kill Your Idols tribute album and an upcoming Christmas compilation. The band reached back to olden days to capture Showcase Showdown's "Merry Christmas, I Fucked Your Snowman". They are now concentrating on new material for release in 2011.

This is the most punk rock thing in history. "I don't like a band so, I'll start an online petition." Who the fuck would police the outcome anyway? If you don't like a band getting booked, then start booking your own shows.
