                                     S.P.G. <br/>
                                The Exploited <br/>
                       from the album "Punks Not Dead" <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 "PUNK'S NOT DEAD ?" the cynic laughed, and how they choked on their <br/>
 hysterical false laughter as the new wave of real Punk smashed into <br/>
 their faces. By late 1979/ early 1980 the trendy Art students their ilk  <br/>
 were tired of their fashion as they moved from Punk onto the New <br/>
 Romantics craze. For some though punk had always been more than <br/>
 just a fashion and style, it had been a way of life, a way of changing <br/>
 a decrepit music scene, so much for "Punk is Dead"... wishful thinking  <br/>
 maybe ? <br/>
 <br/>
 The Exploited, more than any other band typified punk of the time, and <br/>
 confirmed and gelled toghether the strands of punk in the early 80's, <br/>
 hence why many people view this album as THE punk album and if not, <br/>
 only second to the Sex Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks". The album <br/>
 sold over 150000 copies... Punk is Dead... are you sure mate ?? <br/>
 <br/>
 On it's initial release amid the trendy scoffing the album did actually <br/>
 receive a five star revieq from Sound's Gary Bushell, and a healthy <br/>
 spell in the indie charts, as well as making NO.20 in the UK album <br/>
 chart. Today this album is still relevant as it was when it was released, <br/>
 if not more so, and has earned The Exploited a place in rock  <br/>
 and punk history, like it or not, but nevertheless true. This album and <br/>
 The Exploited will be more important in ten years than any fo their now <br/>
 so called 'trendy-indie' peers... take my word on it chum... Punk is <br/>
 Dead ? ... Only time will tell !!! <br/>
