Thursday, June 29, 2006 Christian punk started making waves in U.K. in 1979 Yup... Before '79 there were a few bands didn't get attention like Ishmael United & Giantkiller. & then there was Bill Mason Band, who started making waves in the punk scene in 1979 with their release, "No Sham!" (please see smaller picture) If you have some lyrics for their songs, can you please... please... please place their lyrics in my comment space... & I will be glad if you do... How I wish some site will provide some mp3s of some of the songs from these guys... Oh well. & Oh, check out also 100% Proof. They're also in the vein of 70s-80s Christian punk rock. I'm really surprised that there's this punk scene two years back before Undercover in the U.S. in 1982 released their self-titled debut album (see larger picture). Discography: Undercover (1982): 1. Exuse Us 2. Heal Me 3. I'll Be A Fool 4. Francine 5. It's Official 6. Turn Your Head 7. Look It Up 8. Read It In A Letter 9. Daddy-O
Meron ba kayong mga nararamdamang mga burden, lalung-lalo sa Philippine Music scene? Wala lamang... just envisioning (& also one of my petition kay Lord) yung magkaroon ng isang official Christian rock scene sa Philippines... yung hindi isolated sa secular market na parang sa Amerika... yung parang significant na talaga yung amount ng mga banda... Gusto kong mag-start ng isang hardcore oi! punk band na kapantay ng Underground JCHC scene sa Amerika... dahil una, walang katunog na genre ito ngayon (pwera na lamang kung nasa Pilipinas ka ngayon at buhay ka nung 1978-1990 wherein buhay na buhay ang old school punk rock sa Pilipinas) at pangalawa, yung burden na maiparating ang Good News sa milyon-milyong mga kabataan na sobrang na-infest ng media at ng fads ng panahong ito.
