Which punk band is known for the song 'Anarchy in the U.K.'?

The punk band known for the song “Anarchy in the U.K.” is the Sex Pistols.

Released on November 26, 1976, the song was the Sex Pistols’ debut single and one of the defining recordings of British punk. Its confrontational lyrics, snarling vocal delivery from Johnny Rotten, and Steve Jones’s descending guitar riff announced the band’s rejection of musical and political respectability.

The single was recorded in October 1976 and produced by Chris Thomas, Bill Price, and Dave Goodman. It was issued by EMI, but the label dropped the band in January 1977 after the group’s notorious appearance on the television program Today, where members used profanity during a live broadcast.

A common mix-up is confusing “Anarchy in the U.K.” with “God Save the Queen,” another famous Sex Pistols single released in 1977. Both songs became symbols of the band’s provocative style, but “Anarchy in the U.K.” came first and was later included on the group’s only studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols.
