Blink 182 One More Time

Attempts to encapsulate the vastness of Punk Rock (capitalized throughout this piece, because let's face it, it's a proper noun) throughout its now lengthy history have all fallen well short of the mark. Is it a musical genre or a cultural movement? A hairstyle or the very essence of DIY? Don Letts, original punk biographer, DJ and musician, in his film, Punk: Attitude sums it up just perfectly with that film's very title. Punk is an attitude and, as he puts it himself, "part of an ongoing movement of counterculture." After airing on the Independent Film Channel as part of "Punk Month", Letts' film claws its way, gasping for air, out of a packed house at CBGB's or the Roxy and onto DVD for home consumption.

“Long Hair” rock has always been a staple of popular music - with The Darkness proving that face-melting guitar riffs, and bass-heavy ballads can still prosper in an era of political unrest. Any fan of Jack Black will tell you that rock’s main purpose is to “stick it to the man”; something that AC/DC take to heart. After 30 years, their brand of heavy power-chords and playful lyrics is still going strong. With DC’s entire back catalogue available in re-mastered form, new fans are spawning all the time.
