Punk New York Radio

Punk New York Radio The old saw is that punk music first exploded onto the scene in London, England, but this station holds to the underground "you-had-to-be-there" common-sense that points to Richard Hell's debut album and its New York-based derivatives as the genesis of punk fashion. NYC bands like the Ramones, Television, Blondie and the Talking Heads were the original artist seeds I started with when I created this station in 2007. In retrospect, it appears to me that this station's primary focus is on early punk music, which was a little before my time. In 2009 I decided that adding the Sex Pistols and the Clash would give this station a more comprehensive and definitive feel. This station evolved, much the same way that punk music evolved into a kind of soundtrack for the quarter-acre high ranch homes of Rockland County, NY a decade or two later. In a way this station is dedicated to the punk music that I did not listen to in my youth; for the punk music I did actually listen to in my adolescence, please see my "Teenage Punk" station (November 28, 2016). https://www.pandora.com/station/225270626673797294
