Alright...so this swap may be a total flop on here, buut it's worth a shot. I know there's gotta be at least three of ya' on here who listen to bands like Black Flag, the Subhumans, or the Lunachicks.

So what you'll be doing is making two ATCs featuring your favorite 80's punk band (preferably a different band for each card) and send them to one partner. If you want to do a band that formed in the late 70's ('78 & '79) and continued on into the 80's, I think that's perfectly acceptable. Even if the band is still going strong today, if you think 1980 was their prime decade, go for it. Use any and all mediums you want. Be as absolutely creative as possible. Go all out on these ATCs and make them super rad! Please don't just glue a picture to some card stock, write the band's name in the corner with sharpie and call it good. Really put a lot of effort into these--I can't stress enough how much it SUCKS to put a whole bunch of effort into your cards and then get something in return that looks like your partner spent a good 7 minutes on.

Unless your profile is super sketchy (oodles of no-sends, no information filled out, etc) anybody is welcome to join, preferably with a 4.8+ rating, however I'm a pretty nice person and can probably be persuaded if you message me. Oh, one more thing (and I know I sound like an ass here)...but if you're going to be late, for the love of god just shoot your partner an e-mail and let them know what's up. That's 10x better than not saying anything and hoping they don't notice. However you should, uh, really just send your ATCs out on time!

Happy swapping, everybody!!

Haha nice picture! Is that Darby Crash in the Germs or Wasted youth? Ive seen it before but cant remember. Too bad i hate ATCs cause i love old punk!

Wasted Youth, if I'm not mistaken :) How come you don't like ATCs?

Great idea - My first concert ever at age 12 was a Ramones concert with a friend and her older brother. I have totally loved old punk (and some of the new crap) since then.

I swore off ATC's because none of the ones I received were my cup of tea (and of mine were awesome of course haha), but since I do love punk, I'll give this one a shot.

Its about time someone did this. Huge fan of Fugazi, Agent Orange, Dead Milkmen, Circle Jerks, Lydia Lunch... So many great bands to choose from!!

Hey, I'm sorry I was so late assigning partners for this swap, I've been away from a computer the past couple days. Hope there are no hard feelings!
