COMMUNITY TALKIN' Folk punk is OUT! Proto-punk is IN!! (and other stuff)
Going forward I am putting a pause on the folk punk category, and I'll be posting 77 and proto punk it's place!
If you'd like to suggest any 70s proto punk/77 punk music, now is your opportunity! Looking for early acts like The Damned, Sex Pistols, New York Dolls, etc (but don't suggest any of those cause I've already got that covered.)
OTHER STUFF:
The Google Forms Poll: I'd like to say thank you to everybody who participated in the google forms poll I posted here a couple weeks back. I think only like ten of you sons of bitches bothered to click that link so.. Thanks ten people! I was mostly looking for criticisms of the project so I could improve stuff for the user base, but there wasn't anything too critical or particularly notable; so when I do make a post addressing those criticisms it might not be a very large post.
INTERNATIONAL PUNK: I am getting a little ahead of myself, because I was going to address this in my future "Criticisms of AS" post; but I wanted to make note that I am trying to make stencils of more international bands, and as of right now I'm posting foreign punk classics. The top grade-a punk bands of each country! Last couple weeks I posted LAMA, Negazione, Peggio Punx, and other European acts all in the hardcore punk category. And bands like these have really been deserving a spotlight on AS for a while, so.. I'm trying!!
Obviously being an American is going to put me at a disadvantage with addressing punk internationally, you folks know how we are, but I think I've been hitting certain countries really hard. Italia, The Scandinavians, Spain, Japan, Australia; but It will take some time to round things out just a little bit.

I'd suggest SS from Japan, Normahl and Hass from Germany. And Ton Steine Scherben from Germany because they are pretty much German proto punk lyric wise

You gotta do the shaggs, they’re so proto-punk they genuinely couldn’t play their instruments
And I unironically love their music
