rock 'n' roll

My Flash On You

i have always loved the term proto-punk; envisioning a group of forward thinking cavemen thrashin’ out their confusion, anger and disillusionment. fuzzy bass, distorted guitars, unintelligible lyrics and steady Cro-Magnon pounding on the drums. sixties psychedelic garage rock. the early formations of punk rock. proto-punk.
