Bands and Musicians Battle Royale (Part 2 - Get Ultra-Violent with the Punk Rock Legends)
We love contrast, so I thought I might balance out my calm and sophisticated audio interview with Harold Budd with some mindless, weaselly ultra-violence in Part 2 of Battle Royale (the Punks fight back). So just like before, we are asking you which bands you prefer. Don't expect a clean fight though, this group of misfits may not look so tough to you, but they are wiry, good at cheating, and know how to smash it up. Remember this battle is best served cold in a med/small size group, and oh yeah "don't forget to beat on the biggest brat with your baseball bat."
We are starting off big!

Special Guest: Captain Sensible (a.k.a. Ray Burns) the singer, song writer, guitarist (sometimes keyboardist) of the Damned. He has also had unbelievable success with his solo career by completely changing direction and going into Pop and Rap (always remaining fresh). He has been part of the biggest Punk movement of all time with recording songs like: “New Rose,” “Jet boy, Jet Girl,” “Neat Neat Neat,” “Love song,” “Smash It Up (Part 1 & 2),” “Waiting for the Blackout,”and the epic “Curtain Call.” He was a leading figure during the MTV Pop era with the song “Wot” and even had a surprise number one hit with the song “Happy Talk.”
