UK Punk | Sarods

The genre was influenced by the pub rock movement. The sound of UK punk is characterized by its fast-paced, high-energy rhythms and often provocative lyrics. Bands like The Damned and Buzzcocks were known for their catchy, pop-infused melodies, while others explored darker, more experimental sounds. The genre's sound was also shaped by the CBGB club in New York, which was a hub for punk and new wave bands.
