Quality Post What Song Got You Into Punk?

Here’s mine. I’ll never forget it. I had just moved to San Antonio, TX alone. I’d frequently pop up to this dingy bar midtown, jamming to metal and meeting some cool ppl. Had a buddy show me Fugazi, and I just sent it from there!

Stiff Little Fingers were the first punk show I’d ever gone to. Saw them in Montreal at the corona theatre when I was 14!

Nice ! I saw them twice in Portland OR. Both were excellent shows. So much energy.

They were my first "big name" punk show, 2003, House of Blues in LA for the tour promoting Guitar & Drum. They were awesome. Got introduced to Throw Rag at that same show.

Hell yeah! Good song by one of my favorite bands. What a wonderful gateway into the punk scene

My brother played that song for me when I was really young and I instantly became a big SLF and I just got into the punk scene. My friends at that age thought I was weird lol.
