By the end of the 1970s, punk rock had died in the eyes of the media. The radio stations, television and national newspapers had washed their hands of the controversy created by this musical phenomenon and were now concentrating on the latest fashions of 'New Romantic', 'Mod Revival' and 'Ska'. Many of the original punk bands had called it a day, and many of those who continued had toned down their aggression at the hands of major record companies.

However, in the early 1980s, a new generation of punk bands was forming in the UK. Influenced by the earlier punk bands, they added their own style of aggression in a much harder and heavier manner. One of these bands was The Exploited, and a term to describe this new style was coined from a track on their 'Troops Of Tomorrow' album... UK82.

Devoid of any major media interest, these bands rose through the publicity of a small number of musical newspapers and local interest in the towns where these bands were formed. Even to this day, such bands still exist and are being formed (and even reformed), keeping punk rock alive for the youth of today. This website was conceived by an international group of punk fans and collectors from Josh Upstart's 'Razor Blades And Angry Faces' message board. Unfortunately, the original site was hacked and no longer exists, but a second version was created to replace it. It is intended to be a comprehensive document for all vinyl releases for the UK82 genre. It may never be fully complete, but will serve as an excellent reference guide for anybody interested in punk music.

Punk never died... it was merely pushed underground.
