Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 1:00 PM
Part of our "Punk!" cover story, Chad Radford whipped up a list of some of Atlanta's notable punk acts. We've only listed a few of his top picks here, so be sure to visit our Punk! page for the full list.
Anti-Heroes
Forming in '84, the Anti-Heroes was Atlanta's original Oi! band and may be the last of the punks still playing regularly.

DDT
DDT ruled ATL from '81-'85. Their timeless classic, "Take The Last Train to Athens" rallied punks from around the perimeter to extend a middle finger toward the Southern Mecca of alternative rock.

Dead Elvis
