For all you So-Cal/pop punk loving types - there was a doco out a while back called One Nine Nine Four - which covered the “punk” rise of the mid to late 90’s. Really worth a watch.

From wiki: The film is narrated by skateboarder Tony Hawk and features interviews and footage of various bands and figures in the punk scene including Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Dexter Holland from The Offspring, Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz from Bad Religion, Tim Armstrong, Matt Freeman (previously of Operation Ivy) and Lars Fredriksen from Rancid, Fat Mike from NOFX as well as Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge from Blink-182.

Music clearances fees have prevented the producer from legally releasing the film; it has only been screened twice, once at the Calgary International Film Festival, and once at a “fan-only” screening at The Chauvel Cinema in Sydney, Australia. The filmmakers have turned to fund raising in order to release it publicly.

Think the original youtube vid got taken down - this is a re-upload.

Cheers
I will watch that for sure

Good stuff this.

Devastating. Loved their version of Walk on By. What a brilliant artist. One of the first punk bands I discovered. Thing is, they were exceptional talented. Punk was mainly thrash but they had an underlying menace about them. Greenfield was just sublime.

Fark, I was just earlier talking to my son about the Stranglers and being a keyboardist I gave him some tips which I had learned from watching Dave. He was amazing. :cry:

Had one of their albums on CD back in the 90’s. Saw that same LP in Vicious Sloth records around January.

I’ve got BB in my list. So many bands you couldn’t have without those guys and also one of the iconic punk logo/designs.
