Our Take

Bristling with raw energy and DIY spirit, The Bristol Punk Explosion 1977-1979 is a time capsule of the rebellious punk scene that emerged in the southwest of England. This compilation album gathers together a raucous collection of tracks from bands like The Cortinas, The Pigs, and The X-Certs, showcasing the diverse range of sounds and attitudes that defined the era.

From the blazing guitars and sneering vocals of The Social Misfits' "Since You Went Away" to the frenetic energy of Shoes for Industry's "Spend Spend Spend," each song captures the restless spirit of a generation looking to shake things up. The production may be rough around the edges, but it only adds to the authenticity and urgency of the music.

While some tracks may lean more towards the melodic side of punk rock, like The Snivelling Shits' "Terminal Stupid," others, such as Private Dicks' "She Said Go," boast a more aggressive and politically charged edge. No matter the style, each band on this compilation brings their own unique take on the punk ethos, creating a vibrant and exhilarating listening experience.

So, whether you're a die-hard punk aficionado or just looking to dive into the gritty and defiant sound of late 70s Bristol, The Bristol Punk Explosion 1977-1979 is a must-listen. Strap in, turn up the volume, and get ready to feel the rebellious spirit of a bygone era pulsating through your speakers.
