Deserves a spot on every #fakepunk comp ever made.

#NowSpinning F.U.2 - Punk Rock (1977)
Members of British R&B, beat #garagerock group Downliners Sect (& one guy from Sniff 'N' The Tears) jump on the trend for this great #kbd #punk #fakepunk LP. Comped on Killed By Death #1 & Back To Front, Vol. 2. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Christ Child - Hard (1977)
A doozy on Buddah. Probably my favorite #fakepunk record. Thought to be an attempted cash in on the trend with a bunch of session musicians, but was actually producer Dick "Daddy Dewdrop" Mondo*. Famously hated by Christgau. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Bingo! French Punk Exploitation 1978-1981 (2017)
As someone with severe imposter syndrome due in part to consuming a lot of music from before I was born, I love cash grab records. This #fakepunk #punksploitation release scratches that inauthentic itch. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Houston Home Cookin' (1982)
Onto the tried and true #radiodaze mix of #newwave, #powerpop, and #AOR from 97 Rock, KHMX. Another song from the Z-Rocks EP that includes the #fakepunk #punk cash-in song The Teacher's A Punk was on the Teenline comps. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Plastic Bertrand - L'Album (1980)
A nice, #synthpop #newwave effort with #disco and #powerpop vibes from this #fakepunk poster boy and former Hubble Bubble member. It's ok, but I'm an Elton Motello guy. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Yellow Dog - Wait Until Midnight b/w Down At The Vortex (1978)
#Punk adjacent UK pop rock, like a less jokey Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias. The b-side is prime #fakepunk / #punksploitation with an ode to the London club. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Los Juveniles - Punk Mi Kier Punk (1978)
Don't be fooled by the cover, there is no #punk to be found here, not even #fakepunk, just bolero, merengue, and #salsa by this band from Aruba. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity
