Great question Arthur!

Okay I'll say some of the best Unsung Punk artists are:

1. The Avengers
2. The Effigies
3. Leatherface
4. Compulsion
5. China Drum

The Avengers should've been HUGE and Penelope Houston is one of THE BEST Punk singers ever. Effigies just had GREAT intelligent political rabble rousin' lyrics and the band is simply like a house on fire behind them. Amazing! For more info or proof please read my review of those 2 in Unsung.

As for Leatherface, Compulsion and China Drum - the main reason I feel they're Unsung is they're all INCREDIBLE British Punk bands from the 1990's!!!!! In fact Leatherface is STILL going. But since everybody (unfairly) thinks Punk has officially been a dead, stagnant pool of music since oh I'd say 1978 they just won't listen to me.

But I STILL say if you check these CD's you'd certainly think it was STILL totally alive and ready to kick your ass!!!:

Leatherface:Mush
Leatherface:The Last
Leatherface:Horsebox
Compulsion:Comforter
Compulsion:The Future Is Medium
China Drum:Goosefair
China Drum:Self Made Maniac
The Drum (formerly China Drum):Diskin

And don't forget these 2:

The Avengers:Died For Your Sins
The Effigies:Remains Nonviewable

Oh yeah and The Slits were GREAT! Them and Liliput and The Raincoats too. And what about The Mekons? Le Sam
