Various – Riot City (Complete Singles Collection – The Sound Of UK 82)

A definitive collection for exploring the raw, fast and aggressive sound of early 1980s British punk, bringing together the output of Riot City Records and some of the most representative bands from the UK 82 scene.

Featuring names such as Vice Squad, The Varukers, Disorder, Chaotic Dischord, The Expelled and English Dogs, among others, the compilation is packed with abrasive guitars, rapid rhythms and uncompromising vocals. More than simply a collection of singles, this edition offers a vivid snapshot of a particularly active underground scene, shaped by the DIY ethic, energetic live performances and a direct, uncompromising approach to punk.
