If you love punk music of a certain vintage, but were too busy being born when the records came out, this compilation will look very good on you. Or maybe you were so punk in your younger days that you left your records in the back of a taxi in 2000. Whoops. Who are we to judge?
Spurts! covers 40 years of punk and post-punk music. The name comes from a song on the album by Richard Hell & The Voidoids. 93 songs later, and you’ll be schooled in the genre, with a black belt in Punk Rock.
Spurts! features The Stooges, The Velvet Underground, The MC5, The Modern Lovers, The New York Dolls, The Damned, Buzzcocks, Stranglers, Generation X, The Jam, Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Devo, Dead Kennedys as well as some of the great Australian bands of the era (The Saints, Radio Birdman, Boys Next Door, News and Teenage Radio Stars).
There’s also classic post-punk stuff from The Birthday Party, Joy Division, Public Image, The Cure, Ed Kuepper’s post-Saints outfit Laughing Clowns, New Order and another disc of ‘80s-to-now punk sounds with the likes of The Misfits, The Hard-ons, The Offspring, The Meanies, Pennywise, The Living End, Sweden’s Refused and Millencolin, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Royal Headache, the Smith Street Band and Clowns.
‘SPURTS! PUNK & POST-PUNK FROM THE ‘70s & BEYOND’ is out November 4 as a 4CD set #oldschool or digital download through Warner Music Australia.
