EMERGED 1977 · WHAT IT GREW OUT OF PUNK ROCK, KRAUTROCK, DUB, FUNK, DISCO, ART ROCK, EXPERIMENTAL ROCK, GLAM ROCK, FREE JAZZ · 5 TRACKS TO START WITH, 4 SOURCES

Rock made in Britain after punk's first wave by bands who kept its do-it-yourself spirit but pulled in krautrock, dub, funk, disco and free jazz. Sounds magazine named it 'New Musick' in November 1977, and the first singles followed in 1978 from Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Public Image Ltd and Gang of Four. Rough Trade and Factory became its label hubs, and Simon Reynolds dates the period from 1978 to 1984.
