1982 was a pivotal year for the second wave of UK punk. In fact these days ‘UK82’ (named after the Exploited song of the same name) has become a genre of its own. Whilst the likes of The Exploited, GBH and Discharge are the bands that immediately spring to mind when you look back on that era (each one released a stone cold classic album in 1982), there were plenty of other punk bands around at the same time releasing quality stuff. Leeds’ Abrasive Wheels were certainly one of them, releasing their highly charged debut ‘When The Punks Go Marching In’ in the same year. ‘Abrasive Wheels (1981-1984)’ is a new double CD from Cherry Red, collecting together the band’s whole recorded output between the years of 1981 and 1984.
