About this listen
In this episode of Punks Unknown, we shine a light on Iran’s underground punk scene through the story of Tof, a hardcore band fighting to keep punk alive under heavy restrictions.
This conversation explores:
Growing up with music in a country where punk is considered “forbidden”
Discovering bands like Metallica, Misfits, and Minor Threat through bootleg tapes and satellite TV
The risks and realities of playing punk in Iran, from underground shows to government crackdowns
The importance of international connections and DIY spirit in keeping the scene alive
TOF's journey is a raw reminder of punk’s power as resistance and connection across borders.
You can support TOF by visiting their Bandcamp page
Featuring a brand-new intro track by Michael Rigby — links to Mike’s music can be found via this link
