Discography and info
A little history lesson.
Exploited formed in early 1980,all the members were from Edinburgh.
Danny who took over the drums when Dru Stix left the band shortly after the Dead Cities tour
came fom London.
In March '81 they signed to Secret and shortly after they released the classic Punks Not Dead wich
became the No.1 independent album of '81.
Their first headlining tour was Apocalypse Now wich they did with Discharge,Chron Gen and Anti Pasti.
Then they released a new single Dead Cities and went on the Dead Cities tour,wich in U.K. started off
with the road manager breaking his arm in 5 places and finished with a riot at the Rainbow in London.
The tour then went on to Holland,Germany,Finland,Sweden and Norway,the Dutch tour ended in the band
being banned from the country.
In germany they got banned after riot troops broke up a gig with teargas and Finland saw
an over enthusiastic girl fan biting the end of Wattie's tongue off.
In Norway they had their shortest gig ever,3 minutes before the stage was invaded and the equipment smashed.
Their next single Attack/Alternative was released 26th April and shortly afterwards they released Troops Of
Tomorrow wich reached No.17 in the National album chart.
