Alien Sex Fiend is a gothic rock/deathrock band from the UK। Getting their start at the Batcave club in London in the early 1980s, they quickly became known in the gothic scene for their dark electronic, industrial sound, heavy samples and loops and manic vocals. Made up of Nik Fiend and his spouse Mrs. Fiend the band has put out a long discography over the years. Switching up easily from heavy industrial to ambient experimental styles, fans of Alien Sex Fiend are always wondering what the next album is going to entail. While never achieving mainstream commercial success (whether they wanted it or not), they remain a fixture on college radio. And can boast as being the band to release the world"s first (and probably only) 11" single, "EST" in 1984. Their video for "Zombified" was featured on an episode of the MTV animated series Beavis & Butt-head. They now reside in Cardiff, Wales.

punk rock history, and punk rock t-shirts and clothing we mostly carry,
Punk rock is an anti-establishment rock music genre and movement that emerged in the mid-1970s. Preceded by a variety of protopunk music of the 1960s and early 1970s, punk rock developed between 1974 and 1977 in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, where groups such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols, and The Clash were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement.
Punk rock became a major phenomenon in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s; its popularity elsewhere was more limited. During the 1980s, forms of punk rock emerged in small scenes around the world, often rejecting commercial success and association with mainstream culture. By the turn of the century, punk rocks legacy had led to development of the alternative rock movement, and new punk bands popularized the genre decades after its first heyday.
The first wave of punk aimed to be aggressively modern, distancing itself from the bombast and sentimentality of early 1970s rock. According to Ramones drummer Tommy Ramone, In its initial form, a lot of [1960s] stuff was innovative and exciting. Unfortunately, what happens is that people who could not hold a candle to the likes of Hendrix started noodling away. Soon you had endless solos that went nowhere. By 1973, I knew that what was needed was some pure, stripped down, no bullshit rock n roll. John Holmstrom, founding editor of Punk fanzine recalls feeling punk rock had to come along because the rock scene had become so tame that [acts] like Billy Joel and Simon and Garfunkel were being called rock and roll, when to me and other fans, rock and roll meant this wild and rebellious music.[In critic Robert Christgaus description, It was also a subculture that scornfully rejected the political idealism and Californian flower-power silliness of hippie myth. Patti Smith, in contrast, suggests in the documentary 25 Years of Punk that the hippies and the punks were linked by a common anti-establishment mentality. In any event, some of punks leading figures made a show of rejecting not only mainstream rock and the broader culture it was associated with, but their own most celebrated predecessors: No Elvis, Beatles or Rolling Stones in 1977, declared The Clash. That year, when punk broke nationwide in Great Britain, was to be both a musical and a cultural Year Zero. Even as nostalgia was discarded, many in the scene adopted a nihilistic attitude summed up by the Sex Pistols slogan No Future
Punk bands often emulate the bare musical structures and arrangements of 1960s garage rock.This emphasis on accessibility exemplifies punks DIY aesthetic and contrasts with what those in the scene regarded as the ostentatious musical effects and technological demands of many mainstream rock bands of the early and mid-1970s. A 1976 issue of the English punk fanzine Sideburns featured an illustration of three chords, captioned This is a chord, this is another, this is a third. Now form a band
