"...SO IT WAS A TIME OF MASSIVE CHANGE, NOT JUST FOR MUSIC, BUT FOR CREATIVITY OF ANY KIND..."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on first wave UK punk band THE DAMNED opening the year 1977 (January 2nd) at the Hope & Anchor, a pub in Islington with a history of live bands. "Comfortably holding about 100 people, there were double that number crammed in. Sweat was running down the walls." 📸: John Ingham.
BIJU BELINKY: "...and '70s punk" seems to have become a buzzword associated with a vague way of dressing now."
DAVE VANIAN: "See – it never was that. It started from people realising that if you had enough passion and commitment, you could try your hand at almost anything. As a young person, the doors weren't barred to you like they were in [previous decades]. Before, Britain was still pretty much in a post-war mindset. It was still a very grey place, set in an old-fashioned imperial kind of system that didn't have much to say to young people who didn't want to follow the system. So it was a time of massive change, not just for music, but for creativity of any kind: writing, journalism, art… It was fun."
-- VICE/NOISEY, "Never Mind the Sex Pistols... It Was The Damned Who Pioneered UK Punk," c. November 1976
