Our Take

X-RAY SPEX Live At The Roxy Club is a snotty, snarling, and utterly essential document of one of punk's most iconic bands tearing up the stage. Frontwoman Poly Styrene's wild vocals and unique fashion sense are on full display, as she leads the band through blistering renditions of classics like "Oh Bondage! Up Yours!" and "Identity".

The energy is palpable throughout the set, with the band firing on all cylinders and the crowd hanging on every word. The raw, lo-fi sound quality only adds to the gritty charm of the performance, making it feel like you're right in the middle of the Roxy Club mosh pit.

Tracks like "I Am a Poseur" and "Warrior in Woolworths" showcase the band's knack for witty, satirical lyrics and irresistible hooks, while the driving rhythm section keeps things moving at breakneck speed. It's a whirlwind of sound and style that captures the rebellious spirit of punk in its purest form.

So, grab your safety pins and your DIY attitude, and crank up X-RAY SPEX Live At The Roxy Club for a dose of punk rock perfection. It's a must-listen for fans of the genre and a testament to the enduring power of Poly Styrene and her band of misfits. Punk's not dead, it's just getting started.

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.
