Bedazzled is running this excellent video of 70s punk rock group The Saints performing "Stranded."
Wikipedia:
The Saints are an Australian rock band, formed in Brisbane in 1974. They are considered to be one of the first and most influential punk groups. By 1975, contemporaneously with the Ramones but on the other side of the world, The Saints were employing the fast tempos, slurred vocals and buzzsaw guitar that characterised early punk rock. With the release of their first single "(I'm) Stranded" in late 1976, they beat on to vinyl a host of more widely-known punk acts like the Sex Pistols, the Buzzcocks, and The Clash. Bob Geldof has been quoted as saying, "Rock music in the Seventies was changed by three bands – the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and The Saints".
