Our Take

X-RAY SPEX burst back onto the scene with their latest release, "Conscious Consumer (Eco Vinyl) (Random Coloured Vinyl)". This album is a vibrant, rebellious ode to sustainability in the most punk way possible.

Frontwoman Poly Styrene's iconic vocals are as powerful as ever, cutting through the chaotic instrumentals with a fierce energy that demands attention. Tracks like "Plastic Bag" and "Eco Warrior" tackle important environmental issues with a raw, unapologetic edge that only X-RAY SPEX could deliver.

The use of eco-friendly vinyl adds an extra layer of depth to the album, reminding listeners that being conscious consumers doesn't have to compromise on quality. Each random coloured vinyl is a unique piece of art in itself, reflecting the band's commitment to creativity and innovation.

While some may dismiss X-RAY SPEX as a relic of the past, "Conscious Consumer (Eco Vinyl) (Random Coloured Vinyl)" proves that they are still relevant and necessary in today's music landscape. This album is a reminder that punk rock isn't just about rebellion - it's also about taking a stand for what you believe in, even if it means going against the mainstream.

In a world overrun by consumerism and environmental degradation, X-RAY SPEX are a breath of fresh air. "Conscious Consumer (Eco Vinyl) (Random Coloured Vinyl)" is a powerful statement that music can still be provocative, meaningful, and oh-so-fun. So grab your headphones, slap on some eco-friendly face paint, and let X-RAY SPEX take you on a wild, revolutionary ride.

About the artist

X-Ray Spex

Profile: When it comes to punk rock pioneers, few bands can match the sheer raw energy and feminist ferocity of X-RAY SPEX. Led by the enigmatic frontwoman Poly Styrene, this London-based outfit burst onto the scene in the late 1970s with their infectious blend of high-speed riffs, snarling vocals, and socially conscious lyrics. With their iconic track "Oh Bondage! Up Yours!" serving as a rallying cry for disaffected youth everywhere, X-RAY SPEX quickly established themselves as one of the most important bands of the era. Styrene's unapologetic embrace of her own unique identity - complete with multi-coloured braces and a larger-than-life personality - inspired a generation of outsiders to embrace their own quirks and individuality. Despite their relatively short-lived career, X-RAY SPEX left an indelible mark on the punk rock landscape. Their debut album, "Germfree Adolescents," remains a classic of the genre, blending infectious hooks with razor-sharp social commentary. Tracks like "Identity" and "The Day the World Turned Day-Glo" showcase the band's ability to marry punk aggression with pop sensibilities, creating a sound that was as catchy as it was confrontational. Even today, X-RAY SPEX's influence can be heard in the music of countless artists who have followed in their footsteps. From their uncompromising attitude to their boundary-pushing fashion sense, this band was truly ahead of their time. So the next time you're feeling a bit rebellious, why not throw on some X-RAY SPEX and join Poly Styrene in sticking it to the man? It's a punk rock party you won't want to miss.
