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. The site occasionally covers other local community events.

History

Punkcast was started in September 1997 by Joly MacFie to cover the visit to NYC of punk band One Way System, in order to demonstrate the internet's broadcast potential to the band's manager John Bentham who had run Jettisoundz, a major creator/distributor of punk video in the UK.
