I would say that shes pretty close with a description: think B-52s/Talking Heads with more reverb and distortion (trends that werent around during the early stages of punk) punk was NOT distorted back in the day….don’t think of punk as starting with the Ramones or Sid Vicious…The Clash were barely distorted, The Talking Heads were barely distorted (if just not at all), and much of the B-52s stuff wasnt distorted…
