Punk Safari presents Punk Rock legends The Exploited to tour South Africa.
Formed in Edinburgh in 1980 by ex-soldier Wattie Buchan, The Exploited were at the helm of the harder, second wave of Punk Rock along with bands like Discharge and GBH. Their debut release was as much a rallying battle cry as a record and ‘Punk’s Not Dead’ went on to become the number one independent album of 1981 reaching number 20 in the UK mainstream charts Which kind of proved the point, If punk was indeed dead, no one had told the bands rapidly growing ‘Barmy Army’.
With a string of high charting independent releases and over 20 years of vigorous touring The Exploited have reached iconic punk status worldwide and have been covered and cited as major influences by many acts including Slayer, Queens Of The Stoneage (whom Wattie presented with a ‘Best International Newcomers’ award at the Kerrang Awards in 2000), Atari Teenage Riot, Nirvana (Ex-Exploited guitarist Big John even played for them briefly) and Massive Attack.
'F#%k The System' their eighth studio album sees the band on more explosive form than ever, riotous, unrepentant and wholly uncompromising. Tracks like ‘Never Sell Out’ and ‘Chaos Is My Life’ (both self-explanatory) are as brutally heavy as anything bands half their age have to offer and prove beyond doubt that, not only is there life in the old dog yet, but this band’s got rabies! ‘F#%k The System’ isn’t just an album title; it’s a statement of intent. But then again, it is a punk rock album, and make no mistake...
They will be support by Mutiny, TDKM and Half Price on the night.
