Our Take
Our Take
From the damp, dingy basements of the UK punk scene comes ABRASIVE WHEELS' reissue of "The Riot City Years 1981-1982," a rollicking reminder of a time when safety pins and spiky hair were the height of fashion.
This deluxe compilation is a treasure trove of raw, unfiltered energy, capturing the band at their most raucous and rebellious. With tracks like "Burn 'Em Down" and "Army Song," ABRASIVE WHEELS prove they were more than just another snotty punk outfit - they were a force to be reckoned with.
The record pulses with frenetic guitar riffs and pounding drums, a sonic assault on the senses that will leave you exhilarated and exhausted in equal measure. Frontman Shonna Davies' sneering vocals cut through the cacophony like a knife, injecting an extra dose of attitude into every track.
But it's not all snarl and swagger - tracks like "Vicious Circle" and "Wake Up" show a more introspective side to the band, revealing a depth and complexity that belies their brash exterior.
In a world where punk has been watered down and commodified, ABRASIVE WHEELS' "The Riot City Years 1981-1982" is a breath of fresh air - a reminder of what it means to truly rebel against the status quo. Strap in, turn it up, and let the riot commence.

Abrasive Wheels
Profile: In the grand scheme of punk rock's ever-evolving tapestry, few bands have left a mark quite as abrasive as ABRASIVE WHEELS. Hailing from the gritty streets of Leeds, this raucous quartet burst onto the scene in the early 1980s with a ferocious energy that shook the foundations of the underground music scene. With their unmistakable blend of speed, aggression, and a healthy dose of British charm, ABRASIVE WHEELS quickly became a force to be reckoned with. Fronted by the enigmatic vocalist Shonna Beikoff, ABRASIVE WHEELS are known for their blistering live performances that leave audiences sweating and begging for more. Beikoff's raw, unapologetic lyrics cut through the noise like a razor-sharp knife, delivering a powerful message of defiance and rebellion that resonates with fans around the world. Despite their over-the-top antics and in-your-face attitude, ABRASIVE WHEELS are more than just a bunch of punk rock rebels. With a knack for crafting infectious melodies and hook-laden choruses, the band has managed to carve out a niche for themselves in the ever-changing landscape of punk rock music. Their debut album, "When The Punks Go Marching In", is a raucous and unapologetic affair that showcases the band's raw energy and undeniable talent. From the blistering opener "Vicious Circle" to the anthemic closer "Burn 'Em Down", ABRASIVE WHEELS have created a sonic onslaught that is impossible to ignore. So, if you're looking for a punk rock band that packs a punch and isn't afraid to get a little rough around the edges, look no further than ABRASIVE WHEELS. They may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they sure know how to leave a lasting impression.
