Zounds

One of my all time favourites! Meaning "gods wounds", Zounds were formed in 1977 and lasted until 1982. They released numerous Ep's and one remastered CD, which included all of their collected work. They occasionally reform for benefit shows.

This band is arguably one of the most influential anarcho punk bands, and in my opinion, the most aurally enjoyable. Their sound was unique and has never been quite replicated, especially inside the punk community.

Although they're very popular in certain circles, I don't feel they get the respect they deserve. Affiliated acts: Crass, The Mob, The World Service, Blyth Power
