first question new bands face and a neverending source of fascination for fans and critics alike.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now a new book seeks to answer that question by persuading &#8216;punk&#8217; musicians, journalists, authors and personalities to share their thoughts on their favourite music.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Punks Listen <\/em><\/strong>is the third in a series of books put together by Ireland&#8217;s <strong>Hope Collective<\/strong> in aid of good causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compiled by <strong>Niall McGuirk <\/strong>and <strong>Michael Murphy<\/strong> the book, which features more than 200 contributions from the likes of  <strong>Suggs, Tim Burgess <\/strong>and<strong> The Waterboys&#8217; Mike Scott<\/strong>, will raise funds for the <strong>Red Cross Ukraine Crisis <\/strong>appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kind of book you can dip in and out of, it&#8217;s also an opportunity to expand your horizons and your record collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inevitably some choices are more predictable than others<strong>, <\/strong>but there also several notable surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed

expected <strong>Crass&#8217; Steve Ignorant <\/strong>to be a <strong>Joni Mitchell<\/strong> fan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It gave me, not a sense of freedom but a sense of hope,&#8221; Ignorant says of Mitchell&#8217;s <strong><em>Court And Spark<\/em><\/strong> album. &#8220;It gave me a sense of wanting to get out there and start doing something.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long an admirer of <strong>Steve Albini<\/strong>&#8216;s production and engineering skills, it&#8217;s no surprise to find <strong>The Wedding Present<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong><a
