For those of us interested in punk rock and its visible manifestations in Belfast, Petesy Burns was the equivalent of a totem pole: someone who represented a rich heritage but could still inspire those who interacted with him. From Good Vibrations through to the Harp Bar, the Manhattan, the Anarchy Centre and through three variations on Giros/Warzone Centre, Petesy helped to create and nurture not just punk rock in Belfast but also an alternative lifestyle and way of thinking during a time of intense conflict and ideological rigidness.

While New York City is commonly considered the birthplace of American punk rock, just 100 miles south of the famous CBGB club where the Ramones and other early punk bands got their start is Philadelphia, which has had its own vibrant punk rock scene since at least 1974 – and it has persisted through the present day.

Around 1980 to 1983/84, there really were no others who espoused insurrectionary, direct-action anarchism other than us... the Assassins of Hope, The Sinyx, Ian Bone’s Living Legends, and Ian ‘Slaughter’ Rawes with his fanzine Pigs for Slaughter. And, of course, Conflict when they became more vocal and pro–direct action slightly later. You could certainly never have imagined anarcho-punks being involved with something like antifa back then. Also, we were involved with the Anarchist Youth Federation (AYF), which was an attempt to unite all the non-pacifist bands, fanzines, and activists affiliated with the anarcho-punk scene.

Amidst record inflation and police killings of civilians, Indonesia's punk scene has taken a militant, insurrectionary stance.

Tensions exploded again in the summer of 2025 after the government approved a scandalous housing allowance ten times the minimum wage. As if that weren’t enough, an armored police vehicle ran down and killed Affan Kurniawan, a 21-year-old motorbike taxi driver, last Thursday. That night, the riots intensified. Police stations were attacked. Members of punk bands were in the streets...

Autogestión (self-management), has been a popular articulation of radical politics since its emergence in the 1960s. This article examines how Mexico City's anarcho-punk scene transformed autogestión in the 1990s from an anarcho-syndicalist principle into a unique ethical practice detached from industrial material production. It was then popularized and made more mainstream through university rock festivals. As these were Zapatista benefit concerts, autogestión became inadvertently attached to Zapatismo and detached from anarchism and punk. This history is a crucial one for understanding the political development of an entire generation of the political left in Mexico City who were young in the 1990s.
