Description:
This blistering live set captures Discharge’s legendary London debut at Camden’s Music Machine in October 1980. Formed in Stoke-on-Trent in 1977, the band helped redefine British punk with their raw, minimalistic sound and politically charged lyrics. This 2024 repress from Radiation Records delivers the full-throttle energy of the original performance, including a rare encore featuring repeated tracks. With distorted guitars, shouted vocals, and relentless D-beat drumming, this LP is essential listening for fans of early hardcore and anarcho-punk.
