Punk Core Records is often credited for helping revive street punk, a genre that had flourished in early 1980s Britain but had disappeared by the end of the decade. Punk Core Records brought global exposure to many underground bands, especially those from the New York area.
In 2006, Punk Core Records released the compilation DVD, Pure Punk Rock. The DVD was directed by punk filmmaker Lewis Smithingham, and featured live performances from all of the bands on the label. The label is currently inactive, the last new release having been March 11, 2008. [1]
