THIS YEAR A LINE formed. At one end Penetration, and from there through Joy Division, The Mekons, The Slits, The Fall, The Passage, The Pop Group, The Prefects, to Siouxsie and the Banshees. Zig-zag off the line and find Magazine, Subway Sect, The Soft Boys, or peer past the Banshees and spot Perry, This Heat, Cabaret Voltaire, Penetration to Siouxsie and the Banshees, and a little bit beyond.
