🧷The Exploited
📆Tue 20 Oct | Southampton
🎟️https://www.universe.com/events/the-exploited-tickets-KMJ6YB

Riot starting, bouncer bashing, cop baiting, hotel trashing, foul talking, noise making, chaos causing, venue wrecking, government hating, rule breaking, p**s taking, unrelenting, punk rocking. Clearly we’re not talking about Pepsi adverts here, or indeed the many so-called punk bands that would gleefully sell themselves to such corporate giants for a palm full of silver. Whoo-hoo!
The taste of a generation! F*ck off! Let’s get one thing straight: The Exploited are not ‘punkers’ or any of the other cutesy, watered down, MTV friendly names you might want to call them. The Exploited ARE punk rock.
