[kj] punk festival

[Alexander Smith]

Kids, I'm not *KNOCKING* the Beat,....I'm just pointing out the 
discrepancies in advertising a "real Punk" gig when you've got bands on 
the roster who aren't orthodox Punk at all (yes, I'm aware that there 
was a mutual respect from both the Punk and Ska scenes). It's just that 
when you box things in a slap genre tags on everything, you're bound to 
look foolish at one point or another (and this is one of those points).

Best Beat tune = "Two Swords"
