Today in Punk History: May 30th

1980

May 30, 1980: Sham 69 released The Game — their final real spark before the fall. A raw, anthemic sendoff for a legendary run.

🎶 “The Game” 🎵

1994

May 30, 1994: UK’s Cuckooland dropped Pop Sensibility on Damaged Goods — a bright pop-punk gem from the 90s underground.

🎵 “Radio Friendly”📻

1996

May 30, 1996: The Donnas unleashed one of their earliest singles Let’s Go Mano! — backed with “Last Chance Dance” and “I Wanna Be a Unabomber.” Loud, bratty, and bold — the rest is history.

2000

May 30, 2000: NOFX dropped the single “What’s the Matter With Parents Today?” a sneak peek from Pump Up the Valuum (Epitaph!!), which would drop weeks later. The B-side? “Pods and Gods.” Classic snark, classic era
