Punks Not Dead

[1][8] Working class and loyal to the first impulses of the 1970s punk movement, the album was a reaction to critics who believed the punk rock genre was dead, and went against popular trends such as new wave and post-punk.

[9] It contains the double A side singles "Army Life/Fuck the Mods" and the later follow up "I Believe in Anarchy".

"Army Life" details the experiences of Wattie Buchan when he was a 17-year-old squaddie on a tour of duty in Belfast in the 1970s.

[11] Supported by a tour with the Anti-Nowhere League, the album had underground success and is regarded as one of the definitive Oi!

albums, and its popularity gave rise to a variety of punk rock bands including The Business.
