PLAY THE BLUES PUNK !!! vol.1-7 (Retrospective)

.

What is punk blues anyway?

Punk blues (or blues punk) is a rock music genre that mixes elements of punk rock and blues. Punk blues musicians and bands usually incorporate elements of related styles, such as protopunk and blues rock. Its origins lie strongly within the garage rock sound of the 1960s and 1970s.

Before the beginning of the punk movement of the late 1970s, several important forerunners such as the MC5, the Stooges, the Who, the Sonics, Captain Beefheart, and the New York Dolls displayed a fascination with American blues.

AllMusic states that punk blues draws on the influence of the “garage rock sound of the mid-’60s, the primal howl of early Captain Beefheart, and especially in the raw and desperate sound of the Gun Club’s landmark Fire of Love LP from 1981.”Also according to Allmusic.com, “…punk blues really came to life in the early ’90s with bands like the seminal Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Oblivians, the Gories and the Gibson Brothers”

This Surfadelic comp. series is dedicated to garage blues punk sounds with many covers of classic blues, R&B and black rock’n’roll tunes played by [mostly] modern garage punk & psychobilly bands. That’s the sweat of the Blues Explosion, alright!
