Punknews.org was founded in 1998 by Aubin Paul. We published our first story
in October of 1999. Our mandate is to provide an inclusive community-based site for the
delivery and discussion of music news surrounding punk, ska, hardcore, emo, metal and
indie.
This site is dedicated to the memory of the many inspiring musicians who have left us far too soon. Of special
importance to us are Joe Strummer, Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone,
Johnny Cash, and many more.
