Description: Punk rock may have started in the United Kingdom and United States but it certainly didn t stay in either country. The genre flew around the globe like a contagion touching off simultaneous movements in nearly every market imaginable: Japan Yugoslavia the Philippines South Africa New Zealand Chile Mexico Poland Burma Singapore and Turkey among countless others. Performing punk rock in many of these places wasn t just rebellious it was legitimately dangerous thanks to regimes far more oppressive and brutal than what existed in the West. Brave Punk World immerses readers in these foreign scenes describing the lifestyles and art of passionate hard - charging groups who remain secret to the punk majority but who are just as crucial as the Ramones or the Sex Pistols. James Greene Jr. explores Brazilian bands like Ulster who angrily protested and openly mocked their region's cruel dictatorship Germans such as Slime who see many of their songs still banned to this day the Algerian - by - way - of - France performers Carte des jour who had an alleged hand in inspiring the landmark Clash hit " Rock The Casbah " and a galaxy of other punk groups from more exotic locales. Punk diehards and travel enthusiasts with a taste for chaos will enjoy the country - by - country cultural explorations and wild stories offered within these pages.
