VA – Punk Floyd – A Tribute To Pink Floyd 2024

May 3, 2024 Veteran Punk Bands Finally Quash Long Standing Beef With PROG ROCK, Release Tribute Album To PINK FLOYD!Features tracks by Fear, The Vibrators, UK Subs, Dead Boys, Skids, Anti-Nowhere League, The Members and more!

Los Angeles, CA – Punk rock was in some ways inevitable, a direct response to the musical trends of the early-mid ‘70s that saw rock music become bloated with overly composed, exceedingly long and pompously performed progressive rock of bands like Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer and, yes, Pink Floyd. Then came the punk rock rebellion of 1977 that would define itself in part in opposition to prog rock, and thus a genre rivalry was born. But now many of those ’77 punk legends seek to bury the hatchet by paying homage to the legendary Pink Floyd with the release of Punk Floyd - A Tribute to Pink Floyd.

This electrifying album infuses the complex and sophisticated compositions of Pink Floyd with the raw energy and rebellious spirit of punk, setting these punk rock veterans loose on every era of Pink Floyd including the band’s early psychedelic experiments with bandleader Syd Barrett. West coast punk pioneers Fear, for instance, selected the Barrett written “Astronomy Domine” from the 1968 album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and set about reinventing the track as a fist pumping, guitar-powered anthem. Fear founder and lead vocalist Lee Ving argues that Pink Floyd should be distinguished from the bloviating bands associated with prog rock, saying “Pink Floyd were always sort of the exception to the rule. They always had an interesting sound unlike many of their contemporaries.” Fear’s version of “Astronomy Domine” has been released today on all digital music platforms!
