This is mentioned in the book as being part of the punk movement, and there are one or two tracks of brazen rock, one song even opens with the line "arseholes, bastards, fucking cunts and pricks" but most of this smells more of the British musichall tradition with touches of the up and coming ska/reggae movement, definitely a hint of Madness (the band). There's a bit of cockney rhyming slang and Brit street-talk delivered with not a lot of melody, so I guess it fits in with the 'taking music back to the people' and 'anyone can do it' ideal of punk.
Totally enjoyable.
