Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):
REGGAE & THE PUNK LEGACY
the Women's Story by Helen McCookerybook
"At the core of British punk music and the punk subculture in the 1970's was the concept of subversion, and the punk women in the London punk environment who formed and joined bands exercised a double subversion: not only the subversion
associated with the subculture itself, but also a subversion of sounds normally associated with ‘male’ music making in the pop and rock arenas. If you listen to music by The Slits and The Raincoats, for instance, they do have their own
'sound,' with space, vocal harmonies and clear and distinctive bass-lines to the forefront."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
