Various Artists - "It's a Crap Punk Rock Christmas" - ( a Die or DIY? mixtape #1) 2012

Have a Crap Punk Christmas From all at DIE or D.I.Y?

 What is Crap punk you ask? It's punk rock by people too disenfranchised by fashion to have been  in the despicable Bromley Contingent. It's punk rock from the provinces, where the kids genuinely  couldn't afford a leather jacket,or any instruments.It doesn't sound like bad heavy metal.It's  ideologically confused and politically neutral.It was made by kids who had no choice but to Do it themselves, and perfect the art of doing a guitar solo without a guitar.
It can include 'Fake Punk'(Mary Monday,Alan Milman Sect,FU2), which was often better than 'Real Punk' (Sex Pistols,Clash).It was from council estates and suburban cess pits,and not art schools. But the main point is, that it is still capable of making henry and henrietta normal angry.
Which would clear a room between "Anarchy in the Uk" or Keine Namen's "Can I Have a Light?"  ???
The Sex Pistols is something that's played at nouveau riche Fondue Soireé's jn the 21st century, whereas the atonal racket of Keine Namen would cause ex-punkers Rupert and Caroline to drop their bread in the cheese, and lisp angrily what had happened to the Thex Pithtols? Then sing along to Vic Reeves' "I Remember Punk Rock", totally missing the irony.

So Die or DIY? has stuck together a C-90 mixtape, using an old cassette copy of one of thee main 
causes of Rock'n'rolls rebirth; Rick Wakeman's "Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the  Round Table".Play this while you eat your brussel sprouts this merry midwinter festival, and think of what might have been,and 
what still can be.

I know The Adverts got in the charts, but they were probably the most musically incompetant of the first wave of punk bands,and this demo version
is virtually a call to arms for all Crap Punks everywhere.
The Thought Criminals' "I wont Pay For Punk Records" is undoubtedly the national anthem of Die or DIY?,and concisely  captures the basic philosophy of this blog in the poetry contained within those lyrics.
Australia was a close second place to the UK in the Crap Punk stakes; and Oz's finest ,the Victims, can be proudly crowned as the first  Hardcore band, and not the Middle Class(USA) as is so often touted(and what about Wire?).
I could go on all day, but to paraphrase the immortal words of The Scabs...."Fuck off and Leave me Alone!"
