The birth year of punk rock

Don't say you were not warned: stories, both in print and broadcast, are already being prepared about the 50th anniversary of punk rock. Indeed, 1976 saw the release of debut albums by the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Damned, and the first version of Blank Generation, Richard Hell's anthem. Of course, there are also nitpicky arguments for rejecting 1976 as the annus mirabilis.

Dry Cleaning singer Florence Shaw likes to keep some distance between her vocals and the rest of the band.

That dissonance can be striking at first, but it grows restrictive-stark contrast can only take you so far.
