Discharge – Stoke on Trent
Links:
Genre: Hard Core Punk
“Make
noise not music!” is a great way to describe these Hard Core Punks who formed
in the dark distant past of 1977 in Stoke on Trent by Terence "Tezz"
Roberts (vocals) and Royston "Rainy" Wainwright (guitar) and still
making waves despite a lot of line-up changes, however their music is still
close to the bone and is more than capable at causing a stir today!
Discharge in
their earlier days followed in the vein of the Sex Pistols shouting lyrics that
contained no melody and then a bit later on in the 80’s they adopted a sound
very similar to Motorhead utilizing a ‘wall of sound’
On
February 10th, 2016, the band announced their 7th studio album, entitled End of
Days, to be released on April 29th. It will be Discharge's first album with singer JJ as a five piece.

“Hard Core Heroes!”

In
true punk vein Discharge write about
violence, hate, and all the usual things that punk bands are associated with,
however, this time round they have made inroads singing about The New World
Order and things closely associated with it which is always a good subject to
talk about as well as sing about as it keeps people mulling things over in
their heads.
The
dynamic rhythms are just so eager to boil over and jangle violently which is
what makes punk so enjoyable and brings new depth to a track.
As
the genres shuffle about Punk has remained in the background for quite some
considerable time now – approx. 36 years and counting! But the level of aggression
remains high!
Stoke
on Trent isn’t what I would call the punk capital of the North and it does
leave a rather surprised look on my furrowed brow, even more so when you
realise that up there they call each other ‘duck!” However, punks do not get
the credit they deserve, half of them look intimidating only for you to find
they are the nicest guys on the planet and that their hardy exterior is just
for show only!
I
feel punk was created so that a generation of like-minded individuals could be
as crude as they liked, say what they wanted and give the middle finger to
society as a whole and today that hasn’t changed, nor is it likely to thanks to
Discharge we can go on giving
society the middle finger! Up yours!
