This Music Doesn’t Belong To You In the late 90-s and early 2000’s the Uk saw an explosion of bands that loosely fitted under the umbrella of punk. Hundreds of bands played up and down the country playing thousands of shows each year. In this season’s podcast Chas interviews ket members of that scene and try’s to uncover the reason why hardly any of the major press gave this scene coverage and if some of those DIY ethics can help us now in ever day life.
