About Me

PUNK'D - The Spirit of 1977
Featuring founding members of original Birmingham punk/new wave band, The Sussed , PUNK'D - the Spirit of 1977 are an explosive punk "tribute" who capture perfectly the very essence of punk itself. With their raw energy, attitude and, above all, their ability to accurately recreate the classic punk sound, PUNK'D will return you to that iconic summer of 1977 with their spot-on versions of great punk tracks performed 100% live with total conviction and uncompromising enthusiasm.
TOO DRUNK TO FUCK and BORSTAL BREAKOUT video... Go on... Just press PLAY...
PUNK'D perform original tracks from the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Ruts, the Damned, the Ramones, Sham 69 and many more. In fact, the official top 30 "All Time Punk Classics" was the basis for their live set! Naturally, to keep the modern wave of punks happy, current bands such as Green Day are also acknowledged - plus there are one or two surprises in there as well!
PUNK'D are quite unlike any other live tribute you'll ever see. Authentic, tight, colourful, charismatic and (apart from the singer) frighteningly ugly! These guys aren't just some "Johnny-Come-Lately-Have-A-Go" cheesy tribute band! They did their time! They served their apprenticeships! They were there in '77 valiantly being gobbed on for their country - and some of them haven't washed since!
Whether you're a die hard punk or not, PUNK'D provide a live show that even the most reserved of audiences will enjoy! Great entertainment and wonderful nostalga! Has punk matured with age? Maybe! But what the hell... It's all rock and roll...
Without doubt, the ULTIMATE tribute to classic punk!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/23/2006
Band Website: punkd.co.nr/
Band Members: A combination of factors brought the individual members of PUNK'D together! The love of punk music, the desire to be worshipped, the prospect of many free meals (particularly burgers), and - of course - the MONEY!

PUNK'D are based in the heart of the Black Country (Stourbridge) West Midlands, and all have "funny" accents...

Stevie-Boy Newton

Fronting Punkd is Steve (Stevie Boy) Newton (lead vocals/guitar). His dynamic stage presence, enthusiasm and jaw dropping guitar skills will leave you wishing you hadn't just stuck to playing bass!

Paul (Hard) B'Stard

Professional hit-man, Paul B'Stard (drums) provides the required drive, energy and rock steady beat! A drummer of frightening ability - backed up with an arrogant stare and four word vocabulary (one, two, three, four!)

Dave Bass

Much of the authenticity of the Punkd sound can be attributed to Dave Bass (bass guitar/vocals) and Kev (Slob) Vegas (guitar/vocals) who, in 1977, were founding members of original Birmingham punk/new wave band The Sussed.

Kev (Slob) Vegas

As regulars of notorious punk nightclub, Birmingham Barbarellas, The Sussed. were also regular support to the Killjoys (later Dexys Midnight Runners), and frequently performed on the same bill as Generation X, the Clash and many other well known punk bands of the time.

This all adds up to Punkd being just about the nearest to the real thing you will ever see...

Blah, Blah, Blah!
