There were many bands that were part of that first wave of Punk Rock, but slovenly and pointed, The Sex Pistols, cracked the egg, and opened the door a bit, including for many other bands, some who were already working at it.

An integral part of both Markus' and Ray's musical paths, the guys highlight the band's role for them, and try to show their current relevance!
