Overview
Released in the wake of Punks Not Dead, this 3-track EP captures The Exploited’s aggressive stance against authority and media manipulation. “Dead Cities” became a defining anthem of UK punk, famously performed on Top of the Pops in 1981. The B-sides — “Hitler’s In The Charts Again” and “Class War” — amplify the band’s confrontational ethos, blending D-beat rhythms with snarling vocals and politically charged lyrics. The original UK pressing comes in a glossy picture sleeve featuring stark monochrome artwork.
