NEW LP
PNV Records
Collection of all studio output, recorded 1980-1983 from this short lived UK punk outfit. With only two singles released in their time--the insanely scarce Vendetta, and the No Future essential Dead Hero--this compilation rounds out the LP with demo sessions and comp tracks. The Samples were something of a bridge between the first wave of UK punk and the hardcore "UK82" era. Think a more snarling, street level version of Stiff Little Fingers. Tuneful, politically uncompromising and bursting at the seams with energy, this collection is mandatory for fans of 80's UK punk.
