DESCRIPTION:
In 1983, a small cottage industry style video label was born specialising in
releasing live footage of second-wave punk bands. Within a couple of years
they had become the biggest independent producers of music home video in
Europe. The company was Jettisoundz and, for a decade, they drove vans the
length and breadth of the British Isles seeking out raw talent to record on
videotape. In 1983 they produced what was to become the first ever document
of the 80s punk scene; a video that was to become a cult favourite and a
bench mark for everything similar that followed. In spite of the low
production values they captured something that no amount of high-grade
glossy video-clip-production has ever managed. the spirit of the times.

Released for the first time on DVD, the original Punk on the Road has been
extensively updated and enhanced, with the inclusion of tracks selected from
the Jettisoundz, Visionary, Cherry Red and Barn End archives, that bring it
spitting and screaming into the 21st Century. Featuring both old school and
second wave bands, this is about as close as you'll come to finding a visual
who's who of 80s punk rock gods. With numerous classic tracks and some
genuinely show-stopping performances, Punk on the Road is the next best
thing to actually being there - even if you arrived too late. Absolutely
Punksational! And then some.
