The world at the moment is an angry, chaotic place. With Covid-19 restrictions, Black Lives Matter protests and an ever-changing global political situation, it is perhaps a good time to dive into some angry protest music.

Crossing generations and geographical locations, our punk playlist kicks off with Wuhan OGs SMZB’s track “Ten Years Rebellion,” followed by fellow Wuhan-born band Subs.

Other notable inclusions on our list are newer acts based out of Beijing, which remains a powerhouse of punk in China, with bands such as 小王, Curry3000, Jajatao and Wasted Laika.
