Blank Generation 23 – Covered in Punk

Blank Generation 23 - Covered in Punk
Blank Generation
Steve Green

I put the feelers out and asked a few people what their favourite song covered by a punk band was? I had quite a few of my own in mind but was surprised by the response I got. Some I should have remembered myself but others I’d simply never heard of. It’s a bit of fun but something I’d like to repeat as there are some glaring omissions. Trying to keep it down to one band per song was difficult as some bands like The Dickies loved a cover version and had many hits with them. Others have hardly any or none at all. Anyway, in this show I play the music of The Supremes, Cliff Richard, Claude Francois, Charlie Walker, Kenny Rogers and even Joe Turner and his Orchestra and Chorus, but don’t worry The Cuddly Toys, Menace, Sid Vicious, The Lurkers, Gary Holton & Casino Steell and The Count Bishops more than did them all proud.35 blistering punk covers all coming in at under two hours.

Email me at steve@blankgeneration.show with any more suggestions of punk covers for a follow up show but try and keep it real with bands up to the 1982 (ish) era.
