More about 'Beat The Bastards'

Scottish punk legends The Exploited return with their ferocious energy intact on "Beat The Bastards", a collection that perfectly captures the band's uncompromising spirit and political fury. This release showcases both studio tracks and electrifying live performances from St. Petersburg, demonstrating why Wattie Buchan and his crew remain one of punk's most enduring and influential forces.
