Free Speech for the Dumb - Discharge

Discharge are a British hardcore punk band formed in Stoke On Trent, UK in 1977. They are one of the world's first hardcore punk bands, and are often recognized as one of the main bands responsible for starting crust punk, and serving as sole inspiration for a legion of bands who played a style of hardcore punk called "d-beat" for how they paid tribute to Discharge's distinctive guitar and drum interplay. They later went on to play in the '80s crossover hybrid of hardcore punk and thrash metal. Discharge are still active today, fronted by The Varukers vocalist Rat.
