h2g2 Punk Society
Welcome to the h2g2 Punk Society. This space aims to act as a centre for a diverse range of people wishing to talk about their favourite music, gigs, bands and zines, and as a place for h2g2 Researchers with an interest in the punk rock genre to meet for a nice informal chat. Talk about your favourite records, plan guide entries, reminisce and generally have a good time.In the true spirit of diversity, the HPS is a place for both old people to tell charming stories about the 70s, and for perhaps slightly more contemporary people to talk about music in the current day. All music tastes and ideas welcome.

Entries
There's a rather small amount of punk rock entries in the Edited Guide at the moment, which is sad. It would be nice if we could fill some of those gaps in the future, Guide Entries on some of the earlier bands (Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols) wouldn't go amiss.
