Punk – 1976 London, Post-Punk, Skate Punk & Global Punk Energy | One-Stop Sync and Easy Clear
We drop straight into the birth of punk – it’s 1976, and the youth are pushing back.
This playlist captures a raw snapshot of London at ground zero, led by punk pioneers The Plague, whose early recordings like “Nuffin Doing” and “On The Dole” place them right at the forefront of the original scene – urgent, stripped-back and full of attitude.
The collection also features UK punk favourites Test Tube Babies, alongside tracks connected to Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, bringing serious pedigree from the first wave of British punk.
Beyond the 70s, the playlist expands into modern punk territory – from high-energy skate punk to sharp, female-fronted bands like Change and The Rough Hearts, delivering contemporary edge and punch.
For those exploring the darker side of the genre, post-punk cuts from Industrial Youth bring mood and tension, while Iron Curtain Rock leans into rockabilly-infused punk swagger. The global reach continues with Celtic punk from Firkin, adding a folk-driven, high-energy twist to the mix.
From the streets of 1976 London to modern international punk scenes, this catalogue is loud, fast and full of character – perfect for film, TV, advertising, trailers and gaming.
