Reviews & Opinions

PUNK LIVES #2, 1982: Charge seem to be abandoning their ill-fitting "oi-but-weird" tag for a more poppy feel, that, but if Charge had only a little more faith in themselves they would have been as important (more important?) than Conflict. I remember that up until September Charge were slogging away through benefits, free concerts and all that implies - then slowly came the odd "oi" support after "oi" support and now a once brilliant band rapidly finds themselves in the same ditch as Chelsea - not meaning much at all in any other field. Even should they go right back to their "No One Rules OK" type songs now I fear it's too late.

Additional Notes

Red vinyl.
