[cite book |last=Bronson |first=Fred |authorlink= |title=The Billboard Book of Number 1 Hits |publisher=Billboard Books |date=2003 |pages= |isbn=0823076776] It can be very similar in sound to 1960's garage rock, freakbeat, pop punk, mod revivalist bands, punk blues or a harder, faster version of artists like Andre Williams. Anarcho punk band Nation of Ulysses incorporated elements of 1970's soul, 1950's doo-wop, and avant-jazz into high energy hardcore punk with a radical marxist ideology that bordered on anarchism.
