The Exploited is a Scottish punk rock band, formed in 1978 by Stevie Ross and Terry Buchan, hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, U.K.
With an original line-up of vocalist Terry Buchan, guitarist Stevie Ross, bassist Alan Paget, and drummer Andy McNiven, The Exploited’s name was a symbol of their politics. The band’s debut performance came in December 1978 at the Craigmuir School, after a night before of stealing Sunday papers, milk and bread rolls and redistributing them around their local area with a note saying “a gift from the exploited”. Following the gig, Wattie Buchan, Terry’s brother, joined The Exploited, and has remained the figurehead of the band’s outspoken anti-authoritarian, anti-fascist and anti-racist stance.
Inspired by the likes of Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned, the band created simple, no-nonsense punk rock, and formed their own record label in 1980. Through the label The Exploited issued their debut EP “Army Life”, which remained in the independent chart’s Top 20 for 18 months. The band’s subsequent singles “Barmy Army”, “Dead Cities” and “Exploited Barmy Army” all charted highly and helped introduce the second wave of punk rock in the UK, notarised by its speed and aggression.
In 1981 The Exploited signed with Secret Records and released their debut album “Punks Not Dead”. The album peaked at No. 1 in the independent charts and No. 20 in the national chart. The same year the band released their first live album “On Stage” and embarked on a national tour alongside Discharge, Anti-Nowhere League, and Anti-Pasti. The Exploited subsequently released the albums “Let’s Start a War” in 1983, “Horror Epics” in 1985, the live album “Live at the Whitehouse” in 1986, and the EP “Jesus Is Dead” also in 1986.
Ahead of their fifth studio album “Death Before Dishonour” in 1987, the band released the single “Sexual Favours”, however marked the decline in marketability for punk rock. The Exploited therefore expanded their style to a crossover from punk to thrash metal and released “The Massacre” in 1990, followed by “Live in Japan” in 1993, and “Beat the Bastards” in 1996.
After an extended hiatus of seven years, the band released the album “Fuck the System” in 2003 on Dream Catcher Records, followed by a tour of the UK and U.S. After a cancelled show in Montreal, Canada, due to the band not being allowed in the country, fans started a riot destroying eight cars and breaking several store windows.
Read moreScottish Hardcore rockers The Exploited will certainly blow you away if you witness their hard-hitting and fast paced form of punk at a live venue.
Influenced by the “first wave” punk bands such as Sex Pistols and The Clash, this anti-fascist, anti-Nazi group from Edinburgh burst onto the scene in the early 80’s with their debut album “Punks Not Dead”, and have gathered a loyal punk following ever since.
The band are straight to business when they are finally set up to perform, with Lead Vocalist Wattie Buchanan looking pumped up as he paces the stage, his trademark red Mohawk resembling a shark’s fin circling its prey in the water.
As he screams and bellows his politically charged lyrics in a distinctive Scottish growl, his brother Wullie pounds the drums so hard that before long you’ll find your head bobbing to the frantic beat, with little respite between classic tracks such as “Dogs of War” and Chaos Is My Life."
Despite Wattie suffering from a heart attack on stage in Lisbon during their subsequently cancelled European Tour earlier this year, the band have announced a new album to be released in late 2014, and you can expect to see The Exploited thrashing on a stage near you, very soon!
Amazing Exploited as usual.
Wattie looking good after his recovery.
Played all the classic tunes like Beat the Bastards, Maggie, Punx not dead, SPG, Fuck The System, Chaos is My life, Alternative, Holiday in the sun etc... I even got on stage towards the end and sang Sex and Violence!
Epic gig!
Will remember it for life!
Cheers
Cracking gig at the Fleece, which was packed full of young and old punks and skins. Exploited didn't disappoint delivering a high energy performance of all the old faves, and encouraging the occasional stage dives from the fans at the front. Great night.
Brilliant, just as you would expect. Absolute legends. They played many of their classics and the atmosphere was electric. The people were friendly and I look forward to seeing the band when they come round again.
