Punk rock was in some ways inevitable, a direct response to the musical trends of the early-mid \u201870s that saw rock music become bloated with overly composed, exceedingly long and pompously performed progressive rock of bands like Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer and, yes, Pink Floyd. Then came the punk rock rebellion of 1977 that would define itself in part in opposition to prog rock, and thus a genre rivalry was born. But now many of those \u201977 punk legends seek to bury the hatchet by paying homage to the legendary Pink Floyd with the release of\u00a0Punk Floyd – A Tribute to Pink Floyd<\/em>.\u00a0

This electrifying album infuses the complex and sophisticated compositions of Pink Floyd with the raw energy and rebellious spirit of punk, setting these punk rock veterans loose on every era of Pink Floyd including the band\u2019s early psychedelic experiments with bandleader Syd Barrett. West coast punk pioneers Fear, for instance, selected the Barrett written \u201cAstronomy Domine\u201d from the 1968 album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and set about reinventing the track as a fist pumping, guitar-powered anthem. Fear founder and lead vocalist Lee Ving argues that Pink Floyd should be distinguished from the bloviating bands associated with prog rock, saying \u201cPink Floyd were always sort of the exception to the rule. They always had an interesting sound unlike many of their contemporaries.\u201d Fear\u2019s version of \u201cAstronomy Domine\u201d has been released today on all digital music platforms!
