As somebody else said the definition of punk was very different back in the late seventies. For the record, their first album was very punk sounding but as time went on, they quickly came under the new wave banner and always had a retro feel like the Ramones as well. They also incorporated rap, reggae and disco into their late 70`s and early 80`s sound as well. All in all new wave would be the best label to give them.
