    The subculture trail: One, two, three four… the story of our local punk n’ roll forefathers

    ONE of the local releases in CD format that I’ve been looking high and low for the last couple of years was Love N’ Hate, the debut album of local punk rock forefathers, Subculture.

    Having it released by now defunct Valentine Sound Production back in , the only copy of the album that I have is in cassette format, so to get a CD copy of the album will definitely be great addition to my collection.
