The Sex Pistols exploded onto the music scene in 1976, paving the way
for the deluge of punk rock that would change the face of modern rock
music forever. Their debut album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s
The Sex Pistols, proved one of the most important rock albums of all
time, fusingslammed rock chords with searing vocals. The Sex Pistols
simply, and seemingly effortlessly, blew awayall that had come before
them, setting an entirely new bar for rock acts that followed in their
wake. In Sex Pistols: The Pride of Punk, Peter Smith explores the
impact the band had on launching the punk movement, beginning in 1976
with their debut single and ending in 1978 with their American tour.
Despite their brief career, the Sex Pistols illustrate an important
set of political and cultural elements of 1970s UK and US culture:
disaffected youth, strained international relations, and rapid changes
in culture. Peter Smith digs deep to collate the factors that fueled
the Sex Pistols and the punk revolution.
