** THE VARUKERS **
https://thevarukers.bandcamp.com/music
The Varukers are a British punk rock band formed in 1979
by vocalist Anthony "Rat" Martin. They have
been producing highly respected and influential
recordings since the early 1980's. The band
played what was to become known as the "V beat",
rather than slightly different drumming style of
Discharge's infamous "d beat". But, in common with
Discharge, the Varukers' lyrics carry a political
outlook and ideology. Basicaly being righteously
furious and pissed off with the things they see
going on in the world around them, and
wanting to say their piece about it!
** SPECIAL DUTIES **
https://www.facebook.com/SpecialDuties
Although perceived as part of the third wave of punk i.e. the UK82 period, Special Duties actually formed in late 1977. They were originally called X-pelled but changed their name when they acquired a pile of stolen badges with the words "Special Duties" printed on them and hit upon the brilliant idea that, while it may cost money to run off a load of badges with X-pelled on them, why not just change their name to match the stolen ones?
Their stock-in-trade was basic 4-chord punk played quickly, with gruff vocals and simple song structures (verse/chorus/verse/chorus, essentially). The formula served them well.
