Well I have to say I am underwhelmed by the response. Was waiting for Punk Rooster to answer a few but I think I confused him by making the questions about REAL punk
For a guy that "wears blue and brown" McAlmamac is the king of Punk Trivia. A whopping 9 out of 10. The Damned were the first UK punk band to tour the US (TRIVIA - First UK Punk band to release a single, release an album, tour the US, split up and then get back together).
Pseudo gets bonus points though for mentioning "Glad it's all over" and not the standard "Happy Talk" and "Wot" for Captain Sensible. He also showed he is a man of great taste by confessing to the ownership of 3 Birthday Party LPS
