RWP presenters past (Barry Jenkin aka Dr Rock) and present (Karyn Hay) discuss clips selected by Jenkin whose choices very much reflect his musical epiphany at the hands of punk in the late 70s. This segment features three local acts and provides the opportunity to see a somewhat distant Johnny Volume (guitar in the Scavengers on their classic 'Mysterex') and to observe Chris Knox's considerable musical and visual progression from the punk of the Enemy to the altogether more experimental Tall Dwarfs (with one of Knox's classic animated clips).

Agreed, Richie
Back when we were better at making our own stuff and not aping the U.S/English music scene.
I miss this show.

NZers topped Everest, pioneered open heart surgery, split the atom and broke the 4 minute mile... we created the wave. Rad Pix / Radial With Punctures as we affectionately called it pre-dated MTV by almost 4 years. Great days for NZ Rock!
