1981 - All Out Attack

• Following on from the success of the recent ‘1980-Brand New Rage’ collection comes ‘1981-All Out Attack’.

• 75 tracks all released in 1981 and covering Punk and all its spin off genres – from 77 stalwarts like The Damned and The Ramones to ‘second wavers’ like Stiff Little Fingers and the K. Subs.

• From the emerging Oi! movement courtesy of Angelic Upstarts and Cockney Rejects to the Anarcho influenced Zounds and Flux Of Pink Indians.

• The DIY sound of the likes of Quality Drivel, Breakout and The Shove to the Mod Punk of The Aces and The Nips; the short -lived ‘Punk Pathetique’ of Splodgenessabounds to the Hardcore punk of Discharge and B.H. and the more tribal sound of Theatre Of Hate and Killing Joke, this release covers them all.

With a booklet containing a detailed, nigh on 10,000 word sleeve note featuring each band / track illustrated by a picture sleeve.

If ‘1980-Brand New Age’ was the sound of a (de)generation then ‘1981-All Out Attack’ is the sound of a regeneration. Punk’s Not Dead indeed!
