Product Description

Album Description
‘Anti-State’ is the second release in Overground Record’s Anarcho-Punk series that is chronicling and serving as the definitive guide to the 1980’s Anarcho-Punk scene.

About the Artist
‘Anti-State’ has been pain-stakingly compiled from over 1000 recordings from vinyl, demo cassettes, unreleased studio recordings and live gigs from the mid 1980’s before settling on 21 tracks, 12 of which are previously unreleased.

The sleeve notes by Sean McGhee recall the history of the scene that was pitched in direct conflict with the Thatcher government and how the State directed their henchmen the Police to enforce their rule. This was the era of the miners’ strike, inner-city riots, CND, the Cold War and war in Northern Ireland. The Anarcho-Punk scene proved to be a rallying call for many disillusioned punks and their protestations would prove to be a constant thorn in the side of the establishment.

The series is already being hailed by reviewers and listeners alike as the most important punk re-issue series for years. This series is an aural historical document of an integral, important and hugely influential part of UK punk scene that has, until now, been largely written out of punk history.

The CD includes previously unreleased versions by some of the better known bands from the scene such as Flux of Pink Indians, Subhumans, and Amebix plus rare recordings by Chumbawamba, Blyth Power, The Mob, Poison Girls and Toxik Ephex as well as some lesser known, but none-the-less interesting bands Toxic Waste, Decadence Within and Polemic.

The 24-page accompanying booklet contains detailed biographies and many unseen photos on each band.

‘Anti-State’ captures the anger of an era when the youth were in direct conflict with the establishment. The sound is energetic and often angry and typically delivered with an intensity lacking today. ‘Anti-State’ is a soundtrack of those times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oppose war , oppose law, 18 Jun 2005
The second release in Overgound's anarcho-punk series and after thoroughly enjoying the first in the series 'Anti-War' I couldn't wait to hear this.

As with the first volume it includes a mixture of the known: The Mob, Flux Of Pink Indians, Amebix, Subhumans, Poison Girls, Chumbawamba (captured long before their worldwide chartopping anthem 'Tubthumping'), and the not so well known, but equally interesting acts such as: A Touch Of Hysteria (whose drummer went on to play for indie act Lush), Decadence Within (who mutated into the groundbreaking metal heads Stampin' Ground) The Sinyx, Assassins, Polemic, Toxic Waste, No Defences and many more. For me, hearing just how good some of those more obscure acts are is what makes this series special.

Clocking in at well over an hour, and with over half the tracks previously unavailable, Anti-State is superb value, and to add to all the great sounds on the display the fascinating, absorbing and hugely informative sleeve notes add to the attraction of the whole package.

Compilations are notoriously patchy affairs but Anti-State, like its predecessor, Anti-War has not just broken the mould, more smashed it to pieces!

Another essential purchase.
