In 1982, there were few British bands that better embodied the punk ethos than Anti-Nowhere League. Their LP We Are The League is perhaps the best chronicling of punk s raw energy, humor and visceral rage in an era when early punk bands had either disbanded (The Sex Pistols) or found a softer, more radio-friendly style (The Clash). The Anti-Nowhere League was part of the legendary 1981 Apocalypse Punk Tour, along with Discharge, The Exploited, Chron Gen and others.
We Are The League is a catchy and relevant record that reflects the frustration, anger and eroding idealism of the time. Song for song, it s perhaps one of the most consistently good British punk albums ever recorded.
For fans of The Exploited, Blitz and The Adicts.
