A Punk Rock Collection

The Expelled, “A Punk Rock Collection” (Captain Oi, 1999; original recording 1981-4)
Street-level punk/HC from Britain’s last wave of riots before this year, the “summer of ‘81” urban uprisings. Expelled stood out for the spooky, melancholic wailing of singer Joanne, the taught powerdrill-throb of their basslines, and a truly desperate, wild, end-of-the-world mood that pervaded their sound.
