Discharge Demo Lition Style LP collects rare early demo recordings from the legendary Stoke-on-Trent UK d-beat hardcore pioneers, capturing the band in their raw embryonic period before the Realities Of War EP launched them as one of the most influential hardcore bands of all time. This Discharge LP delivers a snapshot of the founding fathers of d-beat developing their signature crushing sound - the formula that would directly create an entire subgenre and inspire countless bands worldwide from Anti Cimex to Doom to Disclose to State of Fear. Founded in 1977 in Stoke-on-Trent by Terence Tezz Roberts and Royston Rainy Wainwright, Discharge are responsible for one of the most singularly influential sounds in punk history. Essential listening for fans of d-beat, UK82 hardcore, crust punk, raw punk, and the foundational document of the band that essentially created the d-beat subgenre and inspired countless bands worldwide.
