A NIGHT of hardcore punk is coming to Reading this Friday, thanks to Discharge.
Formed in 1977, they are among the first bands to play this genre of music.
Characterised by a heavy, distorted, and grinding guitar-driven sound and rawly shouted vocals, the lyrics on anarchist and pacifist themes.
The group’s first album was released in 1982 – Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing, went to number two on the UK Indie charts and number 40 in the UK Album Chart.
It led to a string of hits including the 1981 EP Why and the 1982 single State Violence State Control.
The original line-up, including Terry “Tezz” Roberts and Roy “Rainy” Wainwright, reformed in the early 2000s, releasing a self-titled album, and the band are still on the road today.
The gig is being organised by Club Velocity, and support comes from Horse Rock.
It takes place at The Face Bar on Friday, November 17, from 8pm.
Tickets cost £15 in advance.
