Two words: Punk Saxophone. That's what I think of whenever I hear this punk classic. You don't hear saxophone in a punk context every day. I also think of Poly Styrene's power packed vocals. This band was only around for a few years in the late seventies, but they left a mark.
Being a big fan of Bikini Kill, I couldn't help but think that Kathleen Hanna's vocal style may have been influenced by Poly. A simple internet search confirmed my supposition. Here is a link to Kathleen's blog post shortly after Poly's untimely death in 2011.
