Anok Sounds

This page is dedicated to the Peace/ Anarcho punk movement, both old and new. My main focus is to spread the knowledge of the movement through the songs and articles posted on this page. There will be many additions made in the near future. I hope to rotate songs atleast monthly so please let me know of any songs you'd like added and I will do my best to accomadate your request(s). Peace, love and unity! ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------When punk emerged it was a new sub-culture and the record companies were less wise to the dangers of a full frontal all-out promotional push. Gigs were cheap and free and people were encouraged to travel around and start their own bands (the DIY aspect is critically assessed later). People were introduced to new ways of living - hitching or organising vans to gigs, shoplifting instead of buying, refusing to buy instead of buying, squatting instead of renting, producing a fanzine instead of reading NME, cooperating instead of competing. The music industry promoted this (as it meant the rise of punk which was primarily a musical, and so record selling, culture) for a short while, and eventually allowed an opening for groups like Crass (and many others) to emerge and shape the next stage of punk... its ‘proper’ politicisation.
