Comment

Another documentary on the dutch punkscene. It tells the story from the start,
back in january 1977 when the Sex Pistols toured Holland.
Young bands moved on to punk for the fun of playing and a good time.
You see some Speedtwins & Ivy Green, but mostly centres on Panic from Amsterdam

Then the docu goes forth to 1979/1980 when the economy falls on it's butt, unemployment kicks in. The punks start to pick up their own instruments and start bands. Most never played a note, but used music to ventilate their frustrations & anger.

The scene gets harder, the music gets faster. And on the other side a more political stream like The Ex. Also some footages on squatting and riots during the day the new queen gets throned

Also a short centre piece of/by Peter Pontiac, the famous cartoon artist who made some cover art, and of course his famous cartoons that got included in several punkzines at that time
