	Torpedo records
		Two bands, one influenced by the Detriot rock of the MC5 and the Stooges, and another by the punk of the Ramones would reinstall the do - it - yourself (DIY) to Australian music.
		In fact it could be said that punk or DIY music in Australia pre-dated some of the similar scenes that had started throughout the world during the mid to late seventies.
		Whereas the majority of pub rock bands used influences of 70's rock to base there sound upon the Sunnyboys were firmly entrenched in 60's garage music as there influence.

		Cold Chisel is the classic Australian "pub rock band", playing a tough breed of rock and blues inspired by seventies bands like Free, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin but characterised by the story-telling skills of their main songwriter, Don Walker, whose personal influences came from Bob Dylan.
		As the leader of the seminal pub rockers Brinsley Schwarz, a producer, and a solo artist, Nick Lowe held considerable influence over the development of punk rock.
		With the Brinsleys, Lowe began a back-to-basics movement that flowered into punk rock in the late '70s.

	pastemusic.com: Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros
		Strummer promptly quit pub rock to join the fledgling punk movement, and co-founded the Clash in 1976; the rest was history.
		Strummer expanded punk's musical palette with his fondness for reggae and early rock & roll, and his signature bellow lent an impassioned urgency to the political sloganeering that filled some of his best songs.
		In 1974, he formed the pub rock group the 101'ers, and though they rocked pretty hard, they couldn't quite match the raw fire Strummer discovered when he saw Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols.

	Rose Tattoo - Angry Anderson, the bad boy of Australian rock
		One of the power houses of 1970-80s Australian pub rock, Rose Tattoo is famous for its diminutive (in size, not stature) singer Gary Angry Anderson.

	ipedia.com: Punk rock Article
		An important feature of punk rock was an evident desire to return to the concise and simple approach of early rock and roll.
		Punk rock emphasised simple musical structure and short songs, extolling a "DIY" ("do it yourself") ethic that insisted anyone could form a punk rock band (the early UK punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue once famously included drawings of three chord shapes, captioned, "this is a chord, this is another, this is a third.
		Smith's group, and her first LP released in 1975, directly inspired many of the mid-70s punk rockers, so this suggests a path by which the term migrated to the music we now know as punk.

	The Rock Music Project timeline and essay page
		While bands like Nirvana fused influences such as 70's album rock, 60's pop, New Wave, and early punk rock, later 90's alternative bands took punk and modernized it with more emphasis on pop lyric hooks and the "punk image" than simply punk's intensity and rebelliousness.
		The death of Cobain in many ways foreshadowed the end of the Seattle music scene as the driving force of alternative music, and in subsequent years, alt-rock would slowly fade and the harder rock influences would be gradually replaced by influences from other rock subgenres, especially punk.
		Examples of bands playing rock music with increased metal influence are Silverchair (from Australia), Deftones, and horror-shock band White Zombie.
