UNLEASHED ON THE PUBLIC ON MONDAY 21st FEBRUARY 2011 

Four Bored Teenagers from Tupton in Chesterfield got together in the late 70s in order to make an impression and to be heard in this ever decreasing back drop to the dull and dreary Britain. Punk was happening in all the major cities of the UK but Tupton was miles away from where it was happening.  Not to be deterred, they got their act together and start playing all the local haunts. A few months later they ventured into a studio and recorded a few tracks. Two of which would be brought out as the bands debut single in a pressing of only 500 copies on the highly collectable ‘Ellie Jay’ label. This single has now become quite a highly prized possession in all Punk record collections around the world!

The band set about promoting the single but sadly caused an uproar in and around their area by playing loud and raucous music. They were banned from the Station Hotel in Alfreton as they had upset the Country & Western singer who was performing down stairs, a near riot at  the Barrow Hill Memorial Club and to top it all off, the local pub banned them for unacceptable behaviour!  PUNK ROCK!

This release features 14 studio tracks that were recorded between 1978—1982.
