Exploited

One of the leading bands of the second wave of U.K.

punk, the Exploited championed a raw, no-frills sound that found common ground between fans of street punk, Oi!, and hardcore with their anthems of anti-authoritarian fury.

On early albums like 1981's Punks Not Dead and 1982's Troops of Tomorrow, the Exploited cranked out buzzy four-square punk enlivened by the passionate bark of lead singer Wattie Buchan.
