I thought that HW from the very start were in many ways a punk band (and
so do many of its members - including Nik of course)... Stuff like Urban
Guerilla, Brainbox Pollution, even Days of The Underground are relevant
examples of this attitude. Simple heavy riffing music with a socially
concious and rebellious attitude. Dave Wyndorf of Monster Magnet also
mentioned this in a interview, and I believe Brock once said during the
early years that HW were "urban music for urban kids". Of course HW have
given birth to/hung out with what I consider punk bands (Motorhead,
Inner City Unit, Pink Fairies)....
