Agreed. When punk first exploded it opened up all kinds of possibilities however the definition of what was punk seemed to narrow down very quickly and become a strait jacket for many emerging groups. I found that dispiriting. The experimentation did continue, though mainly outside the "punk" genre though.

...there was alot of uniformity in that third wave of UK Punk. I already felt like a discerning veteren by the time they released their first records, so i gravitated towards the more overlooked bands that didn't fit any obvious template, getting more into 'Post-Punk' and what was going on in other countries. Amen to that. The likes of Killing Joke, Theatre of Hate, etc. showed that it was possible to take the new wave energy in new and interesting directions.

Breaking news... SUBURBAN STUDS SLAM (EXPANDED 2CD EDITION)captain oi! 2cd with booklet (pre-order) Expected Release: 12th Jan 2024
This 2CD expanded version includes the whole of the original ‘Slam’ album with the addition of rare demos for a proposed second studio album, two of which have never been released before.
Also features a first ever appearance on CD for a four track session the band recorded in 1977 for the legendary John Peel show. The booklet contains original LP artwork plus lots of rare previously unpublished photos from the era alongside press clippings / gig ads and detailed liner notes on this sadly short-lived outfit.
