Exploited - Troops Of Tomorrow - (Live at the Palm Cove, Bradford, UK, 1983)

EXPLOITED live at the palm cove
13 troops of tomorrow


Edinburgh early 1980 and Ex squaddie, Wattie Buchan teams up with Big John Duncan, Dru Stix and Gary McCormack to create a monster. These four disillusioned, angry young men decide to make their feelings known in a big way; enter The Exploited, a band whose notoriety is only matched by the Sex Pistols. For the next 25 years The Exploited blaze a trail of punk rock mayhem across the world. To say singer Wattie doesn't mince his words is an understatement, his tell-it-like-it-is attitude is responsible for more than it's fare share of confrontation and controversy. Yet the band goes from strength to strength eventually becoming one of the most influential names of second wave punk. From sell out gigs at London's prestigious Lyceum to that infamous appearance on Top of The Pops, The Exploited never sold anyone short. They were, and still are, always full-on aggressive. Numerous line-up changes haven't dampened their spirit and today Wattie Buchan can still regard himself as punk rock royalty.

Taken from the Jettisoundz archive, Live at the Palm Cove is classic stuff featuring a classic line up including Big John Duncan on guitar before he left to form the Blood Uncles and play briefly with Nirvana. Shot in Bradford, England 7 April 1983 this is really The Exploited at their purest, full of rage, raw and virtually out of control. For Exploited fans it is simply a must-have. PUNKS NOT DEAD!
