THE EXPLOITED: PIONEERS OF HARDCORE PUNK

Formed in Edinburgh in 1979, The Exploited emerged as one of the flagship bands of the hardcore punk movement. Led by the charismatic vocalist Wattie Buchan, the band quickly gained a reputation for their energetic performances and provocative lyrics.

Their debut album, "Punk's Not Dead" (1981), played a significant role in shaping the hardcore punk aesthetic with its brutal, fast-paced sound and politically charged lyrics. The Exploited continued to be a dominant force with albums like "Troops of Tomorrow" (1982) and "Let's Start a War..." (1983).

Politically engaged, the band's lyrics often criticize the system, political class, and social injustices. The Exploited stood out for their rebellious attitude, abrasive music, and commitment to the punk scene.

Over the decades, despite lineup changes, The Exploited has remained a stalwart of hardcore punk, influencing numerous bands worldwide. Their impact on the punk scene endures, and their legacy as pioneers of the genre remains undisputed.
