"As it turns out, things really haven’t changed all that much since the late 1970’s. When it comes to the music itself, it’s still totally relevant—you can see how and why tons of bands are still trying to duplicate this sound today. It wouldn’t be out of place if it was released in 2018 by a DIY band from Austin.

However, at the time, this record from X Ray Spex was revolutionary and it helped shape what Punk music became. First and foremost, to have a woman of color front a Punk band was pretty much unheard of—she faced far more obstacles on a daily basis than the other white male dudes occupying space in the genre. With the original opening track of Germfree Adolescents, “I Am a Cliche,” she spouts gibberish, “yama yama yama yama” shamelessly in between versus (if you want to call them that) proclaiming, “I am a cliche, I am a cliche / I am a cliche you’ve seen before / I am a cliche that lives next door / I am a cliche you know what I mean / I am a cliche pink is obscene.” She addresses any criticism she might receive head on, with humor, with wiley energy, and with a half time distorted guitar chugging along underneath her vocals.

he songwriting is political, precise, poetic, and it defies the linear concept of time. Between Poly’s wild unleashed vocals, the saxophone riffs piercing through heavy guitars, and frantic drums, X Ray Spex created something every current and future punk should listen to"
