Punk in Iceland (2004)

In 1978, amidst global Cold War tensions and the threat of nuclear war, a new wave of revolutionary music had begun to fade worldwide, except in Iceland. Isolated by Soviet influence, economic restrictions, and limited access to modern entertainment, Icelanders lived under a unique set of circumstances: beer was illegal, television was black and white for most of the week, and rampant inflation fueled a desperate need to spend money quickly. That year, a concert by The Stranglers in remote Iceland ignited a punk rock explosion, challenging the island's established cultural norms.
