Plasmatics

Punk rock
Punk rock

Plasmatics is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Stand by Your Man, Dan Hartman, The Dead Boys and Patti Smith. Those roots explain a lot about how Plasmatics arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dead Boys, Vice Squad, GG Allin, Sham 69 and The Casualties, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Anthrax, Butcher Babies and Motörhead, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 13 connections around Plasmatics, reaching back through Stand by Your Man and forward to Anthrax.
