Punk-a-Rama

Venus and the Razorblades released “Punk-a-Rama” as their first single on Bomp! Records, a terrific song that provided an overview of the early punk rock scene.  I first encountered the song on Bomp’s initial compilation album, Best of Bomp, Volume One, which I recently cleaned up from Katrina.  Venus and the Razorblades made several other singles, such as “I Wanna Be Where the Boys Are” and “Dog Food”; they broke up shortly thereafter.
