My name is Dave, and I grew up in Minnesota listening to the many punk & hard core bands that I'm featuring here. More important though, is that I'm not just posting the stuff that like, but I'm making an attempt to document every band that had something to do with the punk scene in Minnesota. From your Husker Du & Replacements to Dirt Poor & the Kung Fools. Bands that played bars, and bands that played basements and garages. I'd like it all represented here.
I'd also like your help. I can't possible do it all by myself, so if you want to see something here, let me know. If you see something on the net that deserves a mention here, let me know. If you'd like to contribute, let me know.
If you are in a band that I've posted here, and you want your stuff removed, just ask, and it will be removed. Most of my posts are links to other people's posts. Some of it is from my personal record collection. It is my intent to only post stuff that you can not otherwise buy. Long out of print stuff. If I link to stuff that is in print, I will try to include a link to actually purchase it. That won't happen very often though, since I try to post only stuff that I know to be out of print. If the band has an official website, I'll try to post a link to it. If I get something wrong, or you'd like to contribute something, let me know.
All I ask is that you enjoy the crap I post and if you have any suggestions, send me an email at: webbastard at mnpunk.com
No way to link just the media, but here’s a link to episode 1 of the series. I’m posting this on a Monday morning because I know you have nothing better to do at work on a Monday. Get your punk on.
The brothers Batson know how to deliver the rock better than most Minnesota rock bands could ever dream of. Amazing covers, and even more amazing originals. If you ever run across the studio version of 6654321…It’s a classic! Post it somewhere so I can link to it.

Great record. Balls out rock from 1979. Recorded at Jay’s Longhorn in Minneapolis. A very hard to find piece of wax the first time around, the second release is almost as hard to find.
