POLITICAL ASYLUM

 

POLITICAL ASYLUM slogged about for almost a decade, and somehow I feel like they're Scotland's most forgotten '80s anarcho export. They don't sound like anyone or anything else and they never did - melodic midpaced poetic and anthemic punk that leaned heavily on ripping leads and a confident lilt behind the mic. Walls Have Ears is five self-recorded tracks and a dozen (plus) recorded live, all in 1985/86 - this might be my favorite version of "Disarm Or Die," even though the vocals are pretty buried.
