Do they really want peace on earth, or is the anarchic spirit too great to resist? The best punk music gifts this Christmas should at least give the punk fan in your life something to smile about. After all, we’re talking everything from west London trailblazers The Ruts to pop-punk veterans blink-182 and the Godfather Of Punk, Iggy Pop.

The Ruts: The Crack 40th-anniversary vinyl

Four decades after The Ruts gave punk the shot in the arm it needed, their iconic debut album, The Crack, gets a remastered vinyl reissue. Featuring their hot streak of singles, including ‘Babylon’s Burning’, ‘Something That I Said’ and ‘Jah War, it’s still an incendiary record.

On his 18th studio album, Iggy Pop freed himself of the typical expectations and sonic signatures that come with an “Iggy Pop record”, focusing instead on a meditative collaboration with the ambient guitarist Noveller and jazz trumpeter Leron Thomas.
