EP 264 - 50 years of punk Part 2 - Xray Spex - Germfree Adolescence
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026

This month, I dive deep into their explosive and era-defining debut album Germfree Adolescents — a record that didn’t just ride the first wave of punk, it twisted it into something sharper, smarter and far more confrontational.Fronted by the unforgettable Poly Styrene, X-Ray Spex injected punk with biting social commentary, anti-consumerist rage, and a fearless feminist voice that was radically ahead of its time. From the iconic title track to the jagged urgency of “Identity,” this wasn’t just noise — it was a manifesto.In this episode, I explore:The cultural climate of 1977 BritainWhy Germfree Adolescents still sounds so fresh and dangerousPoly Styrene’s legacy and influenceHow X-Ray Spex stood apart from their contemporariesIf you think punk was just three chords and attitude, this album proves it was also intellect, individuality, and rebellion in its purest form.Part 2 of 50 Years of Punk is loud, colourful, and uncompromising — just the way it should be.
