Our Take

Ah, The Bristol Punk Explosion Vol. 2 - a second helping of punk rock goodness from the vibrant music scene of Bristol in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As a seasoned music reviewer, I was eager to sink my teeth into this compilation and see what gems and hidden treasures it had to offer.

The album kicks off with the fierce and fiery track "Private/Public" by The Fans, setting the tone for the rest of the record. The DIY ethos and raw energy that defined the punk movement are alive and well in these tracks, with bands like The X-Certs and Essential Bop delivering punchy, no-nonsense punk anthems that demand to be heard.

One of the standout tracks on the album is The Cortinas' "Fascist Dictator," a blistering commentary on the political climate of the time that still resonates today. The gritty, urgent vocals and driving guitar riffs make this track a true punk rock classic.

Overall, The Bristol Punk Explosion Vol. 2 is a must-have for any punk rock aficionado or anyone looking to explore the rich history of Bristol's music scene. So grab your safety pins and leather jacket, crank up the volume, and immerse yourself in the raw, unapologetic energy of this stellar compilation. It's a riotous ride that will leave you craving more.
