Our Take

Ah, the Punk 45 series never fails to deliver a punch in the gut, and "I'm A Mess! D-I-Y Or Die! Art. Trash & Neon" is no exception. This latest compilation from Soul Jazz Records takes us back to the chaotic days of UK punk in 1977-78, showcasing the raw, unfiltered energy that defined the genre.

From the opening track, it's clear that this album is not for the faint of heart. The screeching guitars, pounding drums, and snarling vocals transport you to a time when rebellion was the name of the game. Each song is a testament to the DIY ethic of the era, with bands like The Shapes and The Users embracing a raw, unpolished sound that is both exhilarating and unapologetically messy.

But amidst the chaos, there is a strange beauty to be found. The neon-lit landscape of punk rock is brought to life through tracks like The Lines' "White Night" and The Art Attacks' "Neutron Bomb," each one a testament to the creativity that flourished in the underground music scene of the late '70s.

While some may dismiss punk as mere noise, "I'm A Mess! D-I-Y Or Die! Art. Trash & Neon" proves that there is artistry to be found in the chaos. So crank up the volume, grab a safety pin for your jacket, and dive headfirst into this exhilarating collection of punk gems. DIY or die, indeed.
