You can't fight corruption with con tricks.

The Specials helped transform ska from a Jamaican dance rhythm into the urgent soundtrack of late-1970s Britain. Mixing sharp suits, punk energy and socially observant lyrics, they gave voice to a country troubled by unemployment, racism and urban decline. Their 2 Tone movement also brought Black and white musicians together onstage, making racial unity part of the band’s image as well as its politics. Their influence can still be heard in British indie, punk, reggae and protest music, wherever wit, rhythm and social conscience meet.

LOTS MORE PUNK STAMPS!!! (Part 3)

Punk stamps 1

Punk stamps 2

Yet another punk stamp batch (and likely last.) Before I'll move on with a new genre, here's the part 3 of my punk stamp series. I do plan making regional punk stamps but it will be done by request instead, so if you want to request a stamp based on your local/country scene. Feel free to message me or my main @nuclear-hydrangea

Punk blues - A blend of blues music and punk rock

Examples: The Gun Club, Gories, Joe Spencer Blues Explosion, The Cramps, Social Distortion, The Taxpayers

Two Tone/2 Tone - Fusion of ska, rocksteady, reggae, and punk rock or new wave.

Examples: The Specials, The Selecter, the Beat, Bad Manners, The Bodysnatchers

Punk Pathetique - forgive my badly drawn of the character showing in Adicts albums. Punk and/or Oi with humorous lyrics. In Europe (specifically German speaking regions), this is known as "Fun Punk".

Examples: The Adicts, Toy Dolls, Die Ärzte, Wizo, The Shapes, The Gonads

Crack Rock Steady - If crust and ska mix together.

Example bands: No Cash, The Infested, INDK, Morning Glory

Reggae Punk - Punk + Reggae combo, can be related to Ska and Two Tone

Example bands: Bad Brains, some "The Clash" songs, R.A.I.N., Citizen Fish, AOS3, P.A.I.N.

BONUS! GOTH-ADJACENT PUNK STAMPS!!! (happy world goth day! 🦇⚰️)

I also made a bunch of goth-punk stamps that I have missed in my goth stamp batch.

G-Beat - A mix of "goth" and "d-beat". Another deathrock type that blend goth or deathrock with d-beat and/or crust elements. Examples: Cemetery , Zygote, Deformed , Lebenden Toten, Moral Hex, Instinct of Survival (starting from "Call of the Blue Distance"), Atriarch, Alaric

Positive Punk - One of the early british goth scenes aside the batcavers. Positive Punk has roots from the anarcho-punk scene but going to a more introspective and mysticism instead of nilistic theming. Can be the british equivalent to the america's deathrock (before deathrock became a catch all term for punk based goth)

Examples: The Mob, Rudimentary Peni, Theatre of Hate, UK Decay, Ausgang, Ritual, Part 1, Rubella Ballet, Screaming Dead

Cold Oi - A predominantly french subgenre of Oi from the 2010s. Oi containing post punk, coldwave, new wave, or goth elements.

Examples: Blitz (UK, older example of Cold Oi), Syndrome 81, Oi Boys, Grisaille, Rancœur, Nuits Blanches

Dark Punk - a style of deathrock leaning more anarcho punk or hardcore punk elements.

Examples: Horror Vacui, Crimson Scarlet, Pawns, Dystopian Society, Chain Cult, Arctic Flowers, Slimy Member, A Culture of Killing, Anasazi
