If I remember, a lot of punk rock bands took cues from those movies in terms of the artwork that they used on some of their albums.
MattHOST
28:19
I think the Exploited used artwork almost like an homage to Return of the Living Dead on the cover of theirs.
MattHOST
28:29
It was their vibe.

Next matchup is the last matchup of the night.
ZackHOST
82:32
It is the Exploited with their Dead City 7-inch 1981 on Secret Records going up against GBH with Sick Boy 1982 Clay Records.
ZackHOST
82:43
What do you think, Kev?
Kev HareHOST
82:45
this is an interesting matchup because it's probably the most similar of all the matchups to styles that are pretty similar of two bands that are pretty iconic, um, within like the more like UK 82 type of stuff.
ZackHOST
86:19
The Partisans lost unanimously to Blitz.
ZackHOST
86:22
The Blood beat...
ZackHOST
86:24
Let's see the oppressed unanimously conflict beat one way system unanimously discharge beat mouse mouse with me dissenting and GBH beat the exploited with Dan, uh, Dan went the other way for the exploited.

86:41
Okay, everyone, that is it for this round.

The Exploited, UK82, and the Birth of British Hardcore

[rock music] Welcome to the History of Punk Rock podcast.

0:45
Today we're diving into how The Exploited sparked UK eighty-two hardcore in late '70s Britain, tracing the bands, scenes, records, and people that made this story matter.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
0:59
Let me start by zooming in on the city that birthed a brand of punk raw enough to bite, Edinburgh, where Wattie Buchan and his band, The Exploited, cut their teeth during a period of political unrest and a booming youth culture.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:15
They were born in 1978 out of an earlier Edinburgh garage band called The Red Dogs.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:23
But they quickly shed that name when the brothers decided to channel their anger into something more confrontational.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:46
He served in the Royal Scots during a period of Irish conflict and returned home with a cynicism that translated into the band's first demo recordings.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:57
These demos were distributed on cheap forty-fives that were often copied by hand, re-reflecting the DIY ethic that would become the backbone of UK eighty-two.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
2:09
Fast-forward to early 1981, and The Exploited had just released their debut EP, Army Life, which was recorded with a budget so low you could only afford two microphones.

GBH and the Rise of Britcore

Sep 6 · 2 Mentions

5:37
And just when you think the scene is contained, GBH decided to hit the United States.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
5:43
They joined other UK acts like Discharge and The Exploited on a US tour that took them to venues from New York's The 100 Club to Los Angeles' Hollywood High.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
5:55
They were literally bringing British Britcore across an ocean.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
6:01
In America, GBH played alongside early hardcore pioneers like Black Flag and The Adolescents.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
8:46
Another layer of context is how GBH's visual aesthetic dovetailed with skinhead fashion, a movement that had splintered from early mod and working class punk to become its own aggressive subculture.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
9:01
Their studded jackets mirrored the metalheads' own leather, making cross-scene shows feel less like a collision and more like an alliance.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
9:11
You can see their influence on the aesthetic of later bands, such as The Exploited or even early UK grimecore groups.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
9:20
Thick black lace and studs became staples in that scene's wardrobes, a testament to how image and sound are intertwined in punk evolution.

Rebellion Festival: Blackpool’s Living Museum of Punk Through Decades

Sep 6 · 2 Mentions

speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:59
What makes this event so insane is that every lineup features bands that span more than forty years of punk evolution.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
2:07
From the raw nineteen seventy-five ruckus of Sham 69 to the anarchic roar of The Exploited, down to current acts like Rancid and The Casualties.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
2:18
They all get a slot on one of six stages, and the festival guarantees that an old, old-school punks in their seventies can stand next to teenagers who have just discovered punk online for the first time.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
2:33
The Winter Gardens is itself a piece of punk lore because it's a massive Victorian venue with more history than most music halls, and it gives punk its own kind of grandiosity without turning it into corporate pop.

The organizers set up multiple entrance points to prevent overcrowding, yet they preserve the chaotic charm that many describe as punk’s crowd spirit in the most orderly way possible.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
12:08
Even the stage names on Rebellion reflect the historical lineage.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
12:13
You see acts like The Drowns and The Exploited alongside newer names such as The Casualties, where each name carries a legacy of political outrage that traces back to punk's early manifesto of dissent.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
12:28
These parallels demonstrate how the culture maintains continuity by borrowing from its roots while also allowing room for new voices to reshape the narrative.

Punk Drumming & the Rush to 200+ BPM: From Ramones to Bad Brains

6:11
That style allowed him to push the tempo even higher without losing cohesion, and you could hear it on early Discharge recordings that turned D beat into a kind of high speed, hard-hitting mantra that reverberated across punk subcultures.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
6:29
If you're looking at how drumming evolved, you can't ignore the influence of drummer J. Lee Thompson from The Exploited.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
6:38
He was playing a raw style that borrowed heavily from hardcore, but also kept an attitude that felt like shouting in the face of a system.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
6:48
The early eighties saw an explosion of drum tech, cheap kits, maple or ash shells, open snare heads.

Sep 5 · 1 Mention

speaker_2UNKNOWN
4:46
Moving to the UK, the Oi and street punk scenes at places like the London’s The Roxy often featured violent confrontations, but a handful of bands actually intervened.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
4:58
In 1982, The Exploited’s frontman Steve Ignorant once physically pulled an aggressive fan offstage in front of hundreds.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
5:08
Ignorant’s approach, he literally grabbed the fan by his collar and forced him to sit on a barstool, made headlines in fanzines like Maximum RocknRoll.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
5:21
It wasn’t about slapping, but about setting a boundary that the band wouldn’t stand for intimidation.

2:59
The press had to decide what dead meant before listening.
speaker_2HOST
3:04
Then there were The Exploited, who used profanity and references to exploiting the system to criticize the music industry’s exploitation of artists.
speaker_2HOST
3:15
Their name was a critique in one syllable, an immediate challenge to corporate sponsorship and radio airplay that often dictated success.
speaker_2HOST
3:26
Even the early American scene saw names like The Stooges or Television.
