By now the English punk rock scene is more than just an item in the news but a commercially viable institution, and the labels over there which started as back-of-a-sedan operations (such as Chiswick and Stiff) are emerging as the moneymakers of tomorrow. Bands like The Damned, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Stranglers are more than just concert attractions, but are making the charts as well. And so the labels are beginning to have identities of their own, with one of the most promising, Stiff, releasing a sampler album featuring a few previously available tracks, some special bonus unreleased ditties from non-Stiff (but Stiff-affiliated) artists, and a track or two from artists yet to release anything on their own. All in all, an interesting concept which works well in practice, and surprisingly enough the best features of the album are the new artists Stiff has yet to unleash upon the public at large. | By now the English punk rock scene is more than just an item in the news but a commercially viable institution, and the labels over there which started as back-of-a-sedan operations (such as Chiswick and Stiff) are emerging as the moneymakers of tomorrow.
