The History Of Punk, Pt. 2: The Stooges to The Clash

Loose Filter Podcast

In part two of our three part series we examine the development of punk through the 70s as it transforms from a small collective of like-minded artists into a worldwide cultural phenomena. First we look at Iggy Pop and the Stooges' influence on the sound and attitude of punk music. This leads to the New York CBGB scene with Patti Smith, Television, and The Ramones. Finally we see how this style crossed over to England with The Sex Pistols and The Clash. Throughout the episode we explore the musical characteristics and philosophies that formed these bands. The creation of punk as it is commonly known today was heavily influenced by the work done by these six bands.
