This six-track (seven) EP contains material primarily from past singles and compilations, but it nonetheless represents some of the highlights from this skunk outfit’s intriguing career. “Die With Dignity” and the classic “Gangland” epitomize the Violators’ highly dramatic, accessible style; so if you don’t have the original releases, you should find favour with this inventive post. The Violators were part of the UK ‘82 punk wave that swept over the world, but even among all those legendary and influential bands, they stood out. They combined the buzz-saw guitar punk sound and youthful rebellious energy of '82 along with darker varied elements of post punk, not the usual verse - chorus - verse - scheme, but still great songs you can sing along to after you've listened to them once. Because "Live Fast Die Young" is on this rip, you have the complete discography of this awesome band.

Cannot resist UK82 stuff!!! Thanks AJ!!! The original 12'' single has (6) songs, 07 - The Violators - Live Fast Die Young , its from one year earlier 7''. Probably a rip from a couple of Violators single collection. Your reviews are the best.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the inclusion of Live Fast was a nice touch by the original uploader. thanks for your comment anon
