Discharge

I shall start my set with Discharge as they are typically cited as the godfathers of British hardcore, crust and D beat amongst other things. I did a hardcore countdown over a year ago where I posted a lot of my favourite songs by these types of bands, but this will allow me to revisit things in more detail.

A couple of things to note, although I enjoy writing, I just do this for self therapy, so if a review seems short it is because my words matter not, it is only the music that is important.

Reality of War ep (1980)

Although I am aware of the historical significance of this album that has resulted it being praised by music reviewers as a groundbreaking feat for 1980, it is simply not very good when you compare the ep it to its American hardcore counterparts that predate by two years. (Black Flag: Nervous breakdown 1978, Misfits Bullet 1978) I would recommend these instead for your fledging hardcore kick.
