the sex pistols were just a boy band dressed up as punks anyway, the clash developed into a genuinly huge band in their time and the damned were on stiff records and also chiswick, hardly what i'd call major labels, in fact, stiff was set up as a punk label i thought. Anyway, they werent the only 'punk' bands around you know. the vast majority of bands deemed as punk were on indie labels and like every other genre, punk had its big names that the industry offered a lot of cash to so as to make more money.
