Hi All
The thread title works on a number of levels but in this instance I am looking into history.
A couple of years ago I started to create a database of punk / early new wave bands formed and active between 75 and late 78 and trying to put some details to each one I noted
https://punkmusiccatalogue.wordpress.com/
I included line ups and basic listings of what music was recorded at the time - a kind of extended discography. I wasn't expecting it to take long (isn't hindsight wonderful) but was asked by some people online to include the rest of the world not just the UK so now its over 5500 pages!!. Although I've kept to the date time-frame I have expanded the listings to include some of the more well known bands from related genres; Mod revival, Pub rock, Nwobhm etc. also some of the earlier North American groups.
Anyway back to the point, from time to time some of the more obscure bands have got in touch with updates, corrections and filling in the blanks. But at the moment I have two long lists of bands that I have very little info on. Some of these bands may not be punk / new wave at all but there must be someone out there who recollects their names and maybe a bit more.

So if anybody can shed light on these bands or maybe even know how to contact ex members, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
