Hello There
My name is Sean McGhee (ex of UK Anarcho punk band Psycho Faction 1979-84) For the last year I have been working on 5 album series of classic Anarcho punk for UK independent punk label Overground Records. The first CD in the series, ‘Anti-War’ is released on February 7th 2005 featuring new, deleted and rare material from the UK Anarcho punk scene circa 1979-84. Appearing on the first release are Dirt, Zounds, Metro Youth, Flowers In The Dustbin, Kronstadt Uprising, Political Asylum, The Astronauts, Anthrax, A-Heads, The System, Sanction, Instigators, Blood Robots, Lost Cherrees, Riot/Clone, Youth In Asia, Psycho Faction, Naked, Omega Tribe, Anti-System, Faction, Rubella Ballet and the Snipers.
The following four CD’s will appear over the next year at regular intervals all released by Overground Records.
Here’s a bit of back ground on the first cd.
Anti-War’ is the first in the long awaited series of 1980’s Anarcho-Punk cds that will chronicle this integral part of the punk scene, and serve as the definitive guide to the Anarcho-Punk scene.
Compiled from recordings culled from heyday of the scene (1980-84), the bands include the leading lights of the scene (Zounds/Dirt/Omega Tribe) as well as many of the lesser known bands that were the life-blood of the scene, pro-active in arranging gigs, making fanzines, organizing benefits etc. (Psycho Faction/Political Asylum/Anti-System).
‘Anti-War’ has been lovingly compiled after many years of research and groundwork,
not least finding the bands that in most cases split before 1984! So, having listened to over 1000 recordings from vinyl, demo cassettes, unreleased studio recordings and live gigs we finally settled on 23 tracks for the first volume, 10 of which are previously unreleased.
‘Anti-War’ perfectly captures the whole ecstatic energy of the era, with its diverse mix of spiky barbs and intense diatribes all based around the ‘Anti-War’ theme.
