‘Anti-Society (Anarcho-Punk Compilation Vol. 3)’


23 track CD only: 68 minutes: Label: Overground
Cat. No. OVER IO7VP CD
Release Date UK/Europe/R.O.W.: I3th February 2OO6
Release Date USA: IIth April 2OO6


‘Anti-Society’ is the third release in Overground Record’s critically acclaimed Anarcho-Punk series that is chronicling and serving as the definitive guide to the 1980s Anarcho-Punk scene.

The series has been hailed by reviewers and listeners alike as the most important punk re-issue series in well over a decade. This important series is a long overdue, aural history document of an integral, important and hugely influential part of UK punk scene that has, until now, largely been written out of punk history.

‘Anti-Society’ has, like previous releases in the series, been pain-stakingly compiled from over 1000 recordings from vinyl, demo cassettes, unreleased studio recordings and live gigs from the 1980s before settling on 23 tracks, 11 of which are previously unreleased and a 24-page booklet with detailed band biographies and many previously unseen photos.

The CD includes previously unreleased and first time to CD recordings by some of the scene’s ‘bigger’ names e.g. Icons Of Filth, Oi Polloi, Alternative, Icon AD but is also an Aladdin’s cave of the Anarcho punk scenes underground legends; The Apostles, Karma Sutra, Exit-Stance, Hagar The Womb, Part 1, Andy T, The Sears and many others.

The epic sleeve notes by Sean McGhee recall the history of the scene that felt empowered by the fact that it was attempting to move outside ‘society’, which seemed a corrupt, war obsessed and totally unfair place to be. The Anarcho-Punk scene with its rallying call of ‘no compromise with their society’ attracted many disillusioned punks and the resulting ripples of discontent are still being felt today.

‘Anti-Society’ captures the spirit of an era when the youth were in direct conflict with the establishment and trying to change the world. The sound is energetic and angry and often delivered with an intensity lacking today. ‘Anti-Society’ is the essential soundtrack of those times.

We look down on advertising in this forum.




Although, that does look like it would be good.

I won't pay for thisaaaaaaaah.

[Anti-Prefix]

It is funny. All 3 of them have looked exactly the same. Different message, please.

[Culture Shock]

I would get this if I had the money. I still need to purchase the second one although I did manage to burn it from a friend

[Brain Toad]

It is funny. All 3 of them have looked exactly the same. Different message, please.

That's because it's all 80s anarcho and all 80s anarcho is the same exact band just with a different name.

Nahh. There are some quality/unique bands among the clones.

You suck at insulting.

It would've been easier to say I just hate anarcho.

Which is true, and this is the reason why. The bands all sound like the same band with different names with a few that differ slightly.

I wasn't insulting? What I said is pretty much true isn't it?

[Brain Toad]

I wasn't insulting? What I said is pretty much true isn't it?

No. And my orginial post was lieing but I changed it to insulting. I don't 'just like' any types of music.

[Rise Me Up]

Well whatever. I wouldn't want you to ban me. :rolleyes:

[Brain Toad]

Well whatever. I wouldn't want you to ban me. :rolleyes:

I will if you keep doing the dumb nazi mod ****.

[Rise Me Up]

I don't think I've ever posted the words "nazi mod" on here period.

[AIRIC]

WE'RE ALL DOOMED, WHAT'S THE USE. **** THE WORLD AND PASS THE BOOZE. EMBRACE THE WORLD WITH SELF ABUSE, CUZ EITHER WAY WE'RE BORN TO LOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeEE EEEEEEEEEEEE.

You two shut up theres no point.

I'm actually really tempted to buy this but i have no money. Maybe when i get paid though.

I'll give you, Mr Moderator, that a lot of what were termed Anarcho punk bands sounded quite similar, but thes comps I'm compiling are pretty wide in their definition, which means you can find hardcore, folk, early punk, and experimental stuff on the comps from that period. Around 95% of the stuff on the Anarcho punk cd series has never been on CD before, about 50% has never been released before anywhere, and I've done that on purpose to show how varied and underground the scene was. For every Flux, Conflict and Dirt there were a score of bands doing their own thing. Also one of the things I wanted to do with the series was make it far more than those cheapo punk compilation samplers that appear by the boatload. That's why the sleevenotes in this latest CD 'Anti-Society' stretch to around 11,000 words. I'm well aware it was a long time , I'm also well aware that to a lot of people this stuff will seem ancient, and past its sell by date, but I'm proud of the job I've done on them, and hope if any of you get copies you find the music, if not superb, at least interesting, and the booklet informative and worth the read.
Anyway thanks for the support on this site. It's usually one of the most decent and level headed forums on the web, and I hope I don't end up eating my words.
Cheers
Sean (the Anarcho cd series compiler)
