Asian American Punk
There was not much information on Asian American Punk bands. Asian Punk bands I found were mainly from Japan. I did, however, manage to find a few bands with at least one Asian American member.
Mike Park - Founder of the band Skankin' Pickle. He was also in the bands The Chinkees and The Bruce Lee Band. He has his own record label, as well as a non-profit organization called The Plea for Peace Foundation. Currently he is doing solo work. An interesting fact is that Mike Park is also a Minister.
