The Sound of Deep Punk Rock

“The Sound of Deep Punk Rock” digs into the raw, unfiltered edges of punk’s underground, spotlighting bands that pushed the boundaries without ever breaking into the mainstream. This playlist is stacked with furious energy and gritty distortion, pulling together lesser-known tracks from across the UK and U.S. punk scenes of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Expect short, fast, and loud cuts from bands like The Lewd, The Wasps, and The Snivelling Shits, alongside fierce one-offs like Johnny Moped’s “Incendiary Device” and The Cortinas’ “Fascist Dictator.”

Rather than focusing on well-worn anthems, this set slips into the dark corners of punk history—from the acid sarcasm of NotSensibles’ “I Am The Bishop” to the neurotic pulse of Fatal Microbes’ “Violence Grows.” There’s no polish here—just primal riffs, snarled vocals, and all-out rejection of anything slick or safe. Perfect for anyone looking to dig deeper than the usual punk playlists without losing the genre’s confrontational spark.
