The magazine that gave the Punk movement it's name, signed by one of the founders.

Founded by cartoonist John Holmstrom, publisher Ged Dunn, and "resident punk" Legs McNeil in 1975, its use of the term "punk rock," led to its worldwide acceptance as the definition for the new bands that were producing a new sound based on the music of The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, the New York Dolls, the MC5, and classic garage bands It was also the first publication to examine the new underground music scene, and provided an outlet for female writers, artists and photographers who had been shut out of a male dominated music fandom scene. Bands covered are the most influential of the CBGB's scene, including  the Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, etc. and their influences (the classic Lou Reed interview for instance).
