God Save The Queen

Following with the British culture, I am going to write about one of the most famous punk rock English bands: The Sex Pistols and their song God Save The Queen.

In 1975 there was a clothes shop named Sex in Kings Road, London. Some of those who used to hang out in that shop where members of a music band named The Stand and they were looking for a new lead singer. After auditioning many people they ended up choosing Johnny Rotten.

They all played their first gig as the Sex Pistols on the 6th of November, 1975. And in 1976 just at the start of the Punk Rock movement they played in the Lesser Free Trade Hall.

After serious problems with the records and the workers at the pressing plant, on the 27th of May, 1977 the famous single of the Sex Pistols God Save The Queen was released. The single became the most censored song in British history.

Although it was not their only single, they released other nineteen and fourteen albums, it is the most famous one.


Here you have it, listen and enjoy!
