I’m very excited about my show this week as I have a 70’s Punk Legend on the show! When people talk about 70’s era NYC punk the bands that often get mentioned are The Ramones, Blondie, Television, New York Dolls, Dead Boys (even though they weren’t from NYC), The Voidoids, The Heartbreakers and on and on. Fair enough, all great bands but there are others that don’t get the juice they deserve and this week you’re going to hear my conversation with the singer for one of those bands that deserves more recognition. I have Sonny Vincent from The Testors on the show! The Testors were highly influential in that scene but never released an album back in those days. Their lives shows were deadly though and now they are releasing old recordings of their music. This week you are gonna hear first hand of what that time was like back at CBGB’s and Max’s Kansas City in the 70’s during the NYC punk movement! I’m very excited and so should you!
