Basil Brush has released a Christmas single tribute to the late 70s punk scene.
Reminds me of the sort of thing Chris Sievey used to do I suppose.
Punk was over before 1979 though
Christmas No1 1979 was Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall
- I knew that
- I did not know that

Just checked the Christmas top 50 1979
Skids at # 27
UK Subs at # 38
Clash (London Calling) in at # 43
The Damned at # 48
pretty much over
Tbf punk probably reached it’s peak in terms of quality in 1979 with GI

Chart positions aren’t a good indicator of this sort of thing
Maybe not but the chart was already full of post-punk … which probably peaked commercially just a couple of months later
Avril Lavigne got chart hits in the 00s, punk lives
