The 1970s era gave the music world many punk bands, like The Ramones, Sex Pistols, and The Clash. Not all of them became world famous. Today, we will remember three punk rock albums that didn’t make it to the well-known tops but deserve attention.

By the way, the theme of punk rock today is prevalent in online casinos. Project gamblestar.com is ready to confirm this. Here, players will find a rating of virtual gambling clubs that offer to play for bonus money in music slots.


Pure Hell – “Noise Addiction” (1978)

When they recorded their debut album in 1978, Pure Hell established a vibrant and energetic modern punk style, combining it with the audacity of earlier bands such as the New York Dolls and The Stooges. Their music was characterized by speed and complexity that even Bad Brains’ early work could not match. The album features tracks that can safely be described as absolutely shredding, and the lead guitarist’s playing is astounding in its speed and skill, especially in the title track.

Unfortunately, although the band managed to release one 7-inch single during their time of activity, they were out of luck: their planned 1975 debut 7-inch album was canceled. Henry Rollins of Black Flag now holds the only known acetate copy. In addition, the album’s original release failed due to a conflict with the manager, who left, taking the master tape with him. This led to the band being all but forgotten until it returned to the spotlight almost twenty years later. Thanks to a new interest in the Afropunk movement, they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.


Panic – “13” (1978)

Panic was one of the many early European punk bands that probably would have had more success if they had been based in New York, Los Angeles, or London. Although the Amsterdam, Netherlands band released their album on unusual red vinyl and performed songs in English, they are often forgotten.

Their music still influences early 70s rock, which suggests that the band is on the border between the pre-punk era and the new punk sounds. This suggests that the members probably came from a more rock-orientated background before turning to punk.

Nevertheless, their slightly retro sound is harmonized with a more aggressive approach, and the 13 tracks (including a song called ‘13’, which gave the album its title) could have easily fit into the early London scene. However, this was not to be, and they are now perhaps the most overlooked band on this list.

Two tracks from the album were re-released as a 7’ single in 1980 with lyrics and song titles in Dutch – this was their last release.


London – “Animal Games” (1978)

One of the most prominent bands of the early British punk scene, London, was formed in 1976 and soon signed to the major label MCA. They toured extensively with The Stranglers but only released two singles, an EP, and this remarkable album before breaking up at the end of December 1977.

The album, released a year after their breakup, captures the fast-paced punk spirit of 1977. It offers a collection of energetic, glam-influenced songs that emphasize the youthful attitude of the early scene and bring a distinctively British sensibility to their music.

Drummer John Moss went on to a career with The Damned and then joined Culture Club, remaining with them throughout their heyday in the early 80s. Bassist Steve Voyce is now a professor of international relations at the University of Sydney in Australia. In 2008, the band reunited with two of the four original members.
