The Best Midwest And West Punk Albums Of All Time
At first glance the Midwest and Western States(minus the coast) seem like a fractured area of the punk rock canon. A lot of the bands were split apart a lot of ground. Geographically there wasn't a lot of cohesion in sound per city and state. One, at first, might consider this geographical area for Punk was messy, scattered and chaotic. You wouldn't be entirely wrong in thinking this. In some ways chaos seems to be the uniting thread running through this strange scene. I say "strange" because in a lot of ways the pioneering bands from these regions are a bit "strange". You have the hormonal folk punk of Violent Femmes in Wisconsin, the insane synth driven absurdity of Devo in Ohio, the nasty dark underbelly represented by The Jesus Lizard in Chicago. Also in Illinois you have the roots of Steve Albini taking hold.
While this scene may have seemed chaotic and fractured it was the birthplace of a few very important musical happenings. First, and most importantly, it could be argued that the birth of all Punk took place in a little town called Ann Arbor in Michigan. This was the birthplace of The Stooges, arguably the first true Proto-Punk band and the touchstone for all Punk music that came after. Also, Devo could be considered the first true Synth Punk band paving the way for countless punks who wanted to express themselves through analog electronics for many years to come. Also, you can argue that the birth of industrial music happened by way of Steve Albini's Big Black. A very important puzzle piece of the evolution of music.
So with saying all that, take a dive into arguably the birthplace of Punk and have fun connecting the dots to all of your favorite bands. ENJOY!
