British Punk Cards
Description: Formed in London in 1976, Generation X (later known as Gen X) was an English punk rock band that released six singles that made the UK singles chart sand two albums that charted on the UK albums charts. This design is based on the Valley of the Dolls cover, the band's second studio album, released in 1979. The record was Generation X's second long-play release, and saw the band transitioning from its start in the London punk rock scene of the late-'70s into a more mainstream rock sound, with the incorporation of musical influences ranging from glam rock, progressive rock, and traditional American rock 'n roll.
Description: Formed in Birmingham, England in 1978, Charged GBH were early pioneers of British street punk, a genre commonly known as 'UK 82.' Charged GBH went on to influence countless punk musicians, but their influence has been especially far-reaching in metal and thrash. The band's name was originally 'Charged GBH,' a reference to being charged with grievous bodily harm (G.B.H.), but was eventually shortened to just 'GBH.' GBH embarked on several English and mainland US tours during the early '80s, and would go on to release a dozen studio albums, all while maintaining their signature sound.

Description: Turn the dial until the city answers. Radio Riot imagines a lost transmission from the collision of late-70s punk, pirate radio, dub culture and street-level London noise. Battered speakers, cheap newsprint and unstable frequencies — broadcasting somewhere between London, Kingston and New York.
Description: A nervous little transmission from the point where punk electricity collided with pop heartbreak. Geometric circuitry, fractured signals and late-'70s print imperfections turn the Buzzcocks spirit into an imaginary Manchester-made emotional device: fast, melodic, romantic and slightly malfunctioning.
