Allan Rickman
Pre punk to post punk
As a lover of Punk it was only a matter of time before I watched this and it felt like a compilation album with extended talking in between. Loosely based on Hilly Crystal the owner of CBGS's in New York and the place where punk was formed.

There are appearances from Television, Talking Heads, The Ramones, The Dead Boys and it shows that Blondies did have more fun. The story is nothing too taxing and it's weaved round the music. Some famous faces and a Harry Potter characters bare bum as he proves his natural hair colour out of the cameras beady eye.

So if you like Punk, bare bums and don't mind a young Sting then this could help your life in a small way

This style should never die!
Love this album so much, the track Once In A Lifetime is a superb example of why the Talking Heads are such an original and unique sounding band. Their blend of post-punk and preppy pop is something that no one can equal- Brilliant!

Rolling Stone's 440th greatest album of all time
The Pogues' best known album featuring a number of good fun upbeat songs with a post-punk yet Irish folk feel. A mix of original songs, some traditional Irish folk songs and the famous version of the Dubliners' Dirty Old Town.

Rolling Stone's 129th greatest album of all time
Talking Heads at their inimitable best. Once in a Lifetime is truly one of the best songs of all-time. The blend of post-punk stylings with a more pop angle, but without the cringey new-romantic nonsense marks them apart from their peers.

Track

"Really dig how much energy this band have in their songs, it feels like it’s part of a big guitar-led post-punk revival at the moment. They’re from South London but the singer Harrison is a manc so he gives them this sort of Echo and the Bunnymen edge which is really cool"
