Vancouver Punk

Vancouver Punk is a style of punk rock music that originated in Vancouver, Canada in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by its fast, aggressive sound and often political lyrics. The genre is heavily influenced by the punk rock of the United Kingdom and the United States, but also incorporates elements of Canadian folk music and other genres. Vancouver Punk bands often feature a mix of male and female vocalists, and often feature a prominent use of keyboards and synthesizers. Notable bands in the genre include D.O.A., SNFU, and The Subhumans.
