More importantly, how many bands from punk's heyday are still making punk music? Let's see, Wire, The Fall, Cab Vol are all still around (BAD and New Order have their share of oldtimers from that era), and they're all using synths & drum machines. AFAIK everyone making punk today came along ex post facto. They're sadly clinging to a 20+ year old ideal. Times change, too bad today's punks don't. Che
