Product description
Ah, Are They Hostile? Croydon Punk / New Wave & Indie Bands 1977-1985, a mouthful of a title for a compilation that's just as bold in sound. This collection of tracks from the underbelly of Croydon's music scene is a chaotic yet thrilling ride through the DIY ethos of punk and new wave. From the raucous energy of The Barking Spiders to the infectious melodies of The Jumping Fleas, each track on this album is a testament to the raw talent and ambition of these overlooked bands. The lo-fi production only adds to the charm of the music, transporting listeners back to a time when music was made in cramped rehearsal spaces and dingy pubs. While some tracks may feel dated, there's a certain timelessness to the rebellious spirit that permeates throughout the album. It's a reminder that punk is not just a genre, but a mindset; a rebellious attitude that refuses to conform to the status quo. Are They Hostile? may not have the slick production or polish of mainstream releases, but what it lacks in technical prowess, it makes up for in heart and soul. It's a snapshot of a vibrant music scene that may have been overshadowed by its bigger, more famous counterparts, but is no less important in shaping the landscape of punk and new wave. So grab your safety pins and leather jackets, and dive into the gritty world of Croydon's punk and indie bands. Are they hostile? Perhaps. But one thing's for sure – they're definitely worth a listen.
