Punkcast

Punkcast

Punkcast.com is an online video site that covers the NYC underground music scene. The content is mainly complete songs from live performances in the city's clubs and other locations. but the site occasionally covers other local community events. In 2003, Punkcast charged a few dollars per video to each band they filmed. They also sell DVDs on their website and accept donations. Punkcast often follows a DIY policy of filming the footage first, without permission, and also posting it without permission, but will generally take down material if asked. Founder Joly MacFie argues that this serves an important archival purpose. As of 2013, the punkcast site has not been updated since 2011, during which year it had one update. The Punkcast youtube channel is still updated as of 2013.
