That's me and my mate Wilf in the middle of that crowd, we were a pair of 14 year old punks and along with our mate Fletch we went to punk gigs every friday night in Derby. We saw the Damned, The Clash,UK Subs, Crass, Vibrators ,The Stranglers, Sham 69, Anti Pasti and god knows how many others before we left school. I moved away then and we lost touch but then thanks to the internet we made contact again and had a reunion 21 years after those mad days in 2001. Fletch was still a punk haha and Wilf was as mad as ever, we had the best time remembering the all those gigs we went to and the capers and scrapes we got into. And that was that, never seen those guys again since, crazy really.

Him getting off beat at the chorus of TV Sketch is the kind of thing that makes it raw and stand out. To this day I still believe the opening riff to be one of the toughest, heaviest most grimey and guttural riffs in their catalog.
First band I ever saw live Victoria hall Hanley Stoke on Trent on the same Bill the Ruts and the Damned, utterly unforgettable it’s still part of the marrow that makes up my bones.... oh yeah the price £3.00
This is the ep that made me start a band when I was 14 in 1980. We went to the local pawn shop, decided what instruments we would play and practiced 3 chords of wonderful liberating musical violence. Oh the power....almost too much for a young teen living with mum and dad back then. It was like a secret culture, people hated us yet we recognised each other anywhere in the world.
I remember buying this from Round Ear Records in Monmouth in 1980. I took it home, sat and stared at the cover for ages, played it over and over. Truly incredible.
@@philtonge7522 Do you remember the bloke who ran it - John Willicombe? The best times were when there was a mini arcade of 4 or 5 games in there; played so many classics in there: asteroids, donkey kong, frogger, missile command. Amazing days.
@@Arcadelife1 Indeed! How could I forget John? A lovely bloke who, like Sister Sledge, was 'Lost in Music'. Not a music snob, had the John Peel attitude of, "All is welcome here". Even tho' he had a hand-written note sellotaped on the counter that said "WE DON'T SELL DISCO!". I think it was his wife who co-served there and I remember her reaction when I'd got my first pay packet (from Beechams in Coleford) and bought a stack of albums. "I love it when you guys get proper jobs". So many great stories from that place, e.g. when 'Strawberries' by The Damned came out and the first pressing had a strawberry scented scratch and sniff lyric sheet with it and stank out the shop! Or John's massive under-the-counter bootleg collection. Happy days. I think when he turned the Monmouth shop into a VHS emporium it all went downhill, which was a shame. I think I nearly burst into tears when it shut. But as the Kinks/Kirsty McColl sang, "Thankyou for the days"...
BET THAT'S ONE GIG YOU'LL NEVER FORGET YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN THEM HOW DID YOU GET YOUR HEAD BACK ON L O L 🤣 ☠ 🤪 ☠ 😜 👍 👍 👍 LONG LIVE PUNK IT'S HERE TO STAY KEEP POGOING 👍 ☠ 👍 ☠
Crazy but in 1980 this was the fastest you got. I mind sitting down by the Clyde and looking at it..got the train home and played it all day until I learnt it Such was the need for punk rock in the late 70's/early 89's.
I was coming up to aged 16 when this came out. Had been listening to lots of Clash and Damned . Put 'Decontrol' on in my bedroom, loud.......mum literally called the police there and then, it was great!
I saw them a few times back then in Manchester and it was just righteous fury-mental gigs ! I rarely play my old punk stuff now but Decontrol,Big Black's Kerosene and Magazine's Shot by both sides occasionally get a listen.Some tunes don't date.
Absolutely magnificent. Like others have said, this is angry, relevant and well, relevant. Got this one still sitting upstairs. Clay Records. Actually the 7" feels like heavy duty clay in your hands. A masterpiece. And yes, been shit on far too long. Great crackling upload. PLAY LOUD. Nice one.
It's a little known fact, but was often whispered in political circles at the time, that Britain would never have taken Germany at Dunkirk or indeed won the Second World War without the regiments of Stoke-on-Trent. As soldiers they were totally calm, fearless and brilliantly strategic as well.

Listening to DISCHARGE has actually got me thru some very dark times with addiction and mental health
I'm an old man now and I wonder how this record still sets the standard for european hardcore. Discharge fucking rule! Even after this loooooong time!
Tracks been covered by so many bands & influenced many mate
"European hardcore". what the fk does that even mean? get a fkn grip ffs.
Because since the 1st day it has eaten into my brain u from there down into the soul.
You’re right Frank! Discharge fucking rule!!!!😀
🤘🤘
Best punk band ever, so much passion and aggression. Cal's voice has never been rivaled. First riff I learnt to play. Great memories 👌
HE'S NOT THE SORT OF GUY YOU WANT TO GET ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE MIGHTY DISCHARGE IN THEIR PRIME HARDCORE PUNK AT IT'S BEST
Fucking hell DISCHARGE are still the most vital band ever & we're stll going thru the same old shit
They had much more melody in the songs than I thought before . Decontrol has great lyrics when you know them
STate Control , MATE! 😎- it’s AWESOME
And when you don’t know them they are in a superposition of great and not great
@@maxcampbell8965 schrodinger's disrocker
Timeless !!! Relevant today, as back then. As good now, as it was then. 👍😎
Got it in my collection since it came out - i's a favourite
Say more u punk rock hardcore's.
No more ment.dam p o news I can't spell punk rock . Tully go mad ha poor .punx
@@robertedwards4102 stfu u metalhead ass git u cant even type

This and Realities of War are really the only good Discharge releases.
Had this on vinyl back in the day, this band distilled pure raw energy and anger like nobody else imo
54 yrs old now n still into disxharge same as when i was a nipper ,decontrol n aint no feeble bastard best two tracks in my humble opinion.
Excellent choices. Can I add Free Speech For The Dumb in at number 3?
2021 still here!
@@ky1725 same over here my friend :)))))
peyer keenan im 58 still listening, realities of war, and protest and survive for me
Ain't No Feeble Bastard and Always Restrictions, IMHO.........
I was 11 or 10 when I first heard discharge I was into 999 the skids then I heard 'anit no feeble bastard' and it blew me away! Punk as fuck ......😅
History
First band I ever saw live Victoria hall Hanley Stoke on Trent on the same Bill the Ruts and the Damned, utterly unforgettable it’s still part of the marrow that makes up my bones.... oh yeah the price £3.00
Best single ever made. All categories all time
That"s my opinion.
This is real punk, God save you, Thank you so much
No gods here

so true these words 2021
I saw discharg in 1981... supporting the exploited in Cardiff...i was 15.. crazy times..
Saw them a few times in Manchester as a 14 yr old kid 80/81. Fucking good education 👍
This record completes a trilogy of ep's released in 1980, a year in the life, and it is mean and ugly and brutal as hell!
Saw them 1981 Bracknell Sports Centre Apocalypse Now Tour. Mind blowing ...
I remember buying this from Round Ear Records in Monmouth in 1980. I took it home, sat and stared at the cover for ages, played it over and over. Truly incredible.
Used to adore Round Ear Records. Bought the first Cravats album there!

Bought Stations of the Crass from there!
I bought Demob No Room from there amongst others
1st listened to em.in late 1980...and i got infected..till today
Ha ha, I still think of this as the 'new one', god I'm getting old...
hahaha thats funny
me to
14 when I first heard this. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
Saw them in Blackburn, Lancs in 1980 at age 14, blew my head off, still thrilling.
A VERY NICE WAY 2 GET YOUR HEAD BLEW OFF HOW DID U GET IT BACK ON L O L HARDCORE PUNK THE WAY IT SHOULD B KEEP POGOING
BET THAT'S ONE GIG YOU'LL NEVER FORGET YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN THEM HOW DID YOU GET YOUR HEAD BACK ON L O L 🤣 ☠ 🤪 ☠ 😜 👍 👍 👍 LONG LIVE PUNK IT'S HERE TO STAY KEEP POGOING 👍 ☠ 👍 ☠

Such was the need for punk rock in the late 70's/early 89's.
Was very lucky to see Discharge twice in one day. A matinee and a later show both sold out.
Just excellent, I used to play it over and over in '80, I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for Discharge!!
Same here!
Me either
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE DISCOVERED THEM NO BAND OF ANY GENRE WILL EVER BE BETTER EVER ☠ 👍🏻 ☠ 👍🏻
Still just as relevant in modern America as it was 30 years ago
Especially during the Obama era
And it will always be relevant as we've been under control for thousands of years! DECONTROL YOURSELF NOW!!!
Especially during this trump fiasco.. What an asshole.
@@thetruth3651 Trump was the best thing to happen to You guys Soy boy
@@dodgersfan7096 Shut up you nasty Nazi
Superb...
Best discharge release
One of the best bands I ever seen
Duck yeah dude the best
True and still playing .
Yespnukto. True. Good
Shit and more shit
LUCKY
i did my homework to this...nowadays everything is subtley censored radio stations play none confrontational music
Influenced so many hardcore bands aswell as metal . Sheer class .
I can hardly imagine how brutal a track like "It's no tv sketch" must have sounded to punk kids back then.
It was fantastic, and it still is.
Tomorrow Belongs to Us is the epitome of punk.
@@adambailey7739 aint no feeble bastard
After the Clash doing rubbish like the much vaunted London Calling album it certainly was. Discharge were away ahead of anyone except possibly Crass
Still brutal as a kick in the teeth!!
I'm hoping to hear music like this in my care home.
i still have my old 7" and played it recently........ one of the bands that live i will never forget........
Epic single from an epic band - end of.
Me owd mate Mart, at college made the sleeve fer this single....!
Still have the ep and still listen 2019 🤗
I use to listen to them when I was a teenager 😊
My favorite Discharge album.
THIS IS AN EP
great fucking record this band influnced alottttt of people
Discharge is everything
first time i saw a blue mohawk when i was a kid in the 80's was at their show.
Just one?
Love, love, love this 💕 -one of my fave songs ever
Their lyrics mean much the same today as they did back then.
And always will!!
While some things are getting better in some aspects, a lot of the core problems haven't changed
P
Laalq
that's why I'm a 24 year old pissed off guy and listening to this. Hardcore and grindcore are the future of extreme music
Respectfully, what are the problems?
Im on the front single pic of decontrol at derby ajanta club .Bob the punk from Burton on trent.
I played in a punk band & we did a gig in burton on trent 1982.. we played on the same bill as a burton on trent band called 'abhor'..
Do you remember a band from burton on trent called 'abhor'?
Derby Ajanta. Now, that's a name I`ve not heard of in a long time. I saw UK Subs/ Anti-Pasti there. Great show!
which one are you Bob!? :)
@@marcusrogers6917 were did you play .

What a band one of my favourites after the Pistols era...🤪

1980 baby! I was 18. Times were a changing
Cool luv it :)
Still have the 45!!!!
There the best local stoke band sen them lots of times .First was at stoke they were supporting the Ruts and the Dammed.
brilliant simply the best
Love it. I bought this when it came out. Nice one for sharing
Punk"s not dead !
masterpiece
o memories best song and times o my life
100% best true punk band ever....
holy shit ...:/ I cant believe anyone kept a copy of this long enough to upload it
La mejor banda de la historia
brought this when it first came out still love it
Released in 1980!! Nice! Misfits were told to slow it down during studio recordings. I always thought that was wonderful.
Este punk suena igual de actual , como igual los problemas que nos trae el estado
There's a vinyl out there..
1980-1986..
I think it's their first 4 EP's..Oh.. How I want it..👊
1st discharge record i bought...in 82, then i bought the lp, pay no more than £3.99....
I was coming up to aged 16 when this came out. Had been listening to lots of Clash and Damned . Put 'Decontrol' on in my bedroom, loud.......mum literally called the police there and then, it was great!

Especially Shot By Both Sides, utter, utter class still.
Esse é o verdadeiro SOM DOS DEUSES!
Influence of thrash death and black metal bands! Great band!
Also the classic Swedish death metal bands, grindcore bands, and the entire genres of d-beat and crust punk!
@@Sergio-nb4hj do you know a proto death metal song by them?
decontrol a proto death metal song?
Takes me back
Discharge were like the Pistols for me..I.e...like a mind fuck of a hurricane blowing out my brain..total original punk..
when music was raw and brilliant with a meaningful message - NOW WE GOT SIMON FUCKING COWELL!!!!!
Absolutely magnificent. Like others have said, this is angry, relevant and well, relevant. Got this one still sitting upstairs. Clay Records. Actually the 7" feels like heavy duty clay in your hands. A masterpiece. And yes, been shit on far too long. Great crackling upload. PLAY LOUD. Nice one.

Any links to read about that , sounds interesting.?
Never heard that....so a link would be helpful
I think he might be joking, cause of how Discharge lyrics are almost always about anti war
Love iiiiiiiiiit
Excellent
I bought this when it first came out at toxic shock records in Pomona ca.
