Hardcore punk
Hardcore punk

the Avengers is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Sex Pistols. Those roots explain a lot about how the Avengers arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Heartbreakers, Dead Boys, The Queers, Vice Squad and Richard Hell and the Voidoids, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Green Day and Pearl Jam, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 22 connections around the Avengers, reaching back through Sex Pistols and forward to Green Day. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
