Synopsis: The origins of iconic punk bands like The Sex Pistols and The Clash were intertwined with a vibrant London scene influenced by the explosive sounds of reggae, ska, and rocksteady. This was largely fueled by the immigration from English colonies in the Caribbean from 1947- 1962, called the Windrush generation, whose work was needed in the reconstruction of Britain in the aftermath of World War II. With them they brought records and sound system culture from their homelands which changed the sonic landscape of the country forever.
