A mate of mine is the drummer with the horror punk band Screaming Dead. I'm amazed at just how active the punk scene still is in the UK. Loads of oldies still getting it on.
We attended a 2 day punk/ska festival last September in Essex. Incredible music for the whole two days and it was great to see that most of the bands were youngsters! The Skids (not youngsters) finished off the festival and were incredible.
