Our Take

The Chiswick Story compilation is a musical time capsule bursting with energy and rebellion. This collection of gems from the legendary Chiswick Records label is a must-listen for any self-respecting punk aficionado. From the raw power of The Damned to the infectious hooks of The Members, this album is a rollercoaster ride through the vibrant UK punk scene of the late 70s.

Each track on this album is like a musical punch to the gut, leaving you breathless and wanting more. The energy and attitude on display here are nothing short of electrifying, and it's clear that these bands were on a mission to shake things up and make some noise. The snarling vocals, blazing guitars, and thundering drums all come together to create a wall of sound that will have you pogoing around your living room in no time.

But it's not all aggression and angst - there are moments of sheer beauty and vulnerability scattered throughout the album. Tracks like The Vibrators' "Sweet Sweet Heart" and Johnny Moped's "Hard Loving Man" show a softer side to these bands, proving that there's more to punk than just three-chord thrash.

In conclusion, The Chiswick Story is a riotous celebration of all things punk, and a testament to the enduring power of this musical movement. So grab your safety pins, spike up your hair, and crank up the volume - this album demands to be played loud and proud.
