Discharge emerged in 1980 and 1981 - after the Sex Pistols had fizzled and the Clash's popularity had exploded. While the media proclaimed the death of the scene, Terry "Tezz" Roberts (drums), Tony "Bones" Roberts (guitar), Roy "Rainy" Wainwright (bass), and vocalist Cal began to make considerable noise without the support of a distribution network or widespread media attention. Their one- and two-minute screeds ("Fight Back," "Religion Instigates," "Maimed and Slaughtered," etc.) seemed taped together from existing shreds - harsh screams, snatches of messy guitar, and one-dimensional, lockstep drumming - but were the nourishment that sustained the vital U. K. punk scene beyond the implosion of its first wave. There's no posing here, no spectacle. Rather, Why and its accompanying material hum with desperation and attitude. The Roberts brothers and their mates certainly had something to prove, as vicious lyrical tirades against warmongering and repressive social politics can attest (a lyric sheet is included in the reissue). But while their agenda was admirable, it's the snapping, popping, hair dryer-in-the-bathwater quality of Discharge's music that resonates almost two decades on. Musicians will write protest songs forever. But the immediacy of this torn and stained punk rock snapshot is hard to replicate.
