Punk Rock A to Z

The Avengers

Punk Rock A to Z is a new feature where we will go through the alphabet looking punk bands that have made an impact on the genre.

Today we look at the San Francisco band The Avengers. The Avengers were one of the first wave of punk bands that exploded on the scene around 1977. The band was fronted by female singer Penelope Houston a rarity in the male dominated scene. The Avengers might be best known for opening up for the Sex Pistols on their destructive final show in San Francisco.
