ZOUNDS
Zounds
Zounds are an English anarchist post-punk band formed in 1977 from loose jamming sessions around the Reading area. Originally, they were part of the cassette culture movement, releasing material on the Fuck Off Records label, and were also involved in the squatting and free festival scene. The name of the band is derived from the old English minced oath coined by William Shakespeare: "zounds", which is a contraction of "God's wounds", referring to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ, formerly used as a mildly blasphemous oath.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Zounds
