I DON'T KNOW I DON'T CARE - THE SWANKYS

The Swankys were a Japanese punk band from Kyushua island that started out playing Sex Pistols influenced 77-punk before becoming Japan's first hard core punk band. The Swankys were heavily influenced by the "Bristol" bands Disorder, Chaos UK and Chaotic Dischord. Once the Swankys had started playing the more aggressive hard core punk style repeated violence at shows quickly banned the band from local gig venues forcing the band to change name to GAI for about a year.
