Couchsurfer%27s Guide to Punk

This page is being created by users of the Punk Rock Group to provide travellers who have a good taste in music with sources of information. So for your convenience you find a list below that consists of links to sites where you can find out what to do or who to see at the place you're going to.

If you can help, please do. If your country isn't yet in the list, just create a new paragraph, or even a regional sub-chapter. (Note: links to web sites of single bands or venues aren't really that helpful)
