Overview

Proto-punk acts continue to draw attention with Protomartyr announcing their new album 'Hotel Usona' and lead single 'Sounds We Cannot Hear', while The Residents reschedule their long-awaited live performance of 'Eskimo' across North America. Meanwhile, legacy figures like Ray and Dave Davies of The Kinks express openness to a reunion, and archival moments from punk's formative years, including The Damned's pioneering U.S. tour, are revisited.
