BLOWN TO BITS

The Exploited

from the album "Punks Not Dead"

"PUNK'S NOT DEAD ?" the cynic laughed, and how they choked on their

hysterical false laughter as the new wave of real Punk smashed into

their faces. By late 1979/ early 1980 the trendy Art students their ilk

were tired of their fashion as they moved from Punk onto the New

Romantics craze. For some though punk had always been more than

just a fashion and style, it had been a way of life, a way of changing

a decrepit music scene, so much for "Punk is Dead"... wishful thinking

maybe ?

The Exploited, more than any other band typified punk of the time, and

confirmed and gelled toghether the strands of punk in the early 80's,

hence why many people view this album as THE punk album and if not,

only second to the Sex Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks". The album

sold over 150000 copies... Punk is Dead... are you sure mate ??

On it's initial release amid the trendy scoffing the album did actually

receive a five star revieq from Sound's Gary Bushell, and a healthy

spell in the indie charts, as well as making NO.20 in the UK album

chart. Today this album is still relevant as it was when it was released,

if not more so, and has earned The Exploited a place in rock

and punk history, like it or not, but nevertheless true. This album and

The Exploited will be more important in ten years than any fo their now

so called 'trendy-indie' peers... take my word on it chum... Punk is

Dead ? ... Only time will tell !!!
