Pub Rock
September 29th 2006 01:29
For those who aren't in the know, Pub Rock is a genre of Music, it's rocky, but much heavier and harder then most rock, with very little polish on it. It came about in the 70's, at about the same time that Punk Rock took off in a big way.
Whilst this was mostly an English penomenon, it also took off in Australia, mostly because we just need to follow some country. And we call New Zealander's sheep...
Anyhoo, some of the most influential English Pub Rockers are 'The 101er's' (of which Joe Strummer from the Clash was a member), 'Kilburn and the High Roads' and 'Riff Raff' (containing Billy Bragg)
Australian Pub Rock seemed to either be more sophisticated, as with 'Hunters and Collectors' or more AC/DC-esc bands.
Well, as a genre, it's pretty interesting. Fairly simple songs, due to the desire of the bands to seperate themselves from the progressive rock that was emerging at the time.
Peace

Very much on the poor side of things, Pub Rockers the 101er's bear a resemblance to many British Punk bands
