PUNK OF COLOR BANDS WORLDWIDE A-Z

Written By Daisy Salinas

(past & present)

Originally featured in Muchacha Fanzine’s “Decolonize Punk” issue, I wanted to make a digital version of “PUNK OF COLOR BANDS WORLDWIDE A-Z” available online. This list is by NO MEANS all-encompassing. Feel free to share widely. You can also contact me at muchachafanzine@gmail.com if you would like your band (or a band you love) added to the list. Never forget DIY musicians of color are the creators of culture. Stop erasing our contributions to music history & STOP pigeonholing, appropriating, tokenizing, & underpaying us.

PUNKS OF COLOR UNITE!
