#Punksnotdead

Every week, thousands of miles are travelled by great, talented artists and bands keeping live music alive.

Some are huge, but most are completely unknown to most people. Here are a few that I love and respect, both as artists and decent human beings.

If you get the chance go and see them - they're often supporting bigger acts, but that doesn't mean that they're racking in the cash. Buy the CD's. Buy the shirts. Tell them that you appreciate the talent, the work, and the effort they put in week and week, year after year.
