The Exploited: Punk's Not Dead
History: Released in 1981 on Secret ; Re-released by
Harry May (UK on Vinyl)/Grand Slamm (US 1990)/Snapper (w/7 bonus cuts)
Info: I'd start out my punk reviews
with THE PUNK album. Need I say more than other
than the album has sold more than 150,000 copies
(Keep In Mind That this was an indie release)
not including the countless dubs
of this album out there.
Best Tracks: ALL. (Could something as minimalistic like "Sex and Violence" be so catchy!?)
History:Originally released by Noise Records in 1983(?);
CD rerelease with bonus cuts released by Harry May in 1994
Info: I didn't know what catagory to put these guys in, so
I chose the "punk rock" catagory as it's broad enough to encompass
anything. How should I describe it? "Shock ruck?" "Thrash Oi?"
"Punk-Oi-thrash metal?" As the liner notes say "the band were bridging
the then impossible Punk-metal divide"
First off, if you're a god fearing Christian, you'll crap your
pants if you heard this album. These guys were just absolutely hated
by the press because of their "blasphemous" nature and subsequently
had their ads featuring their sleeve banned from being printed.
Asides from the original album, their debut single, compilation cuts and
out takes are included. Included is a lyric sheet if you, like me have
trouble interpreting the lyrics. Warning: Can Be A Bit Opera Metal at
times.

Drunk Addict/ Done Some Brain Cells Last Night/ Degenerate/ Sewer Brain/ Joys Of Noise
