In a burst of sonic anarchy, British punk stalwarts CHRON GEN have unleashed their FREE LIVE EP, a blistering 7" single that captures the band's unbridled energy and rebellious spirit. Recorded live at the Regal Auditorium in Hitchin on December 9th, 1981, this vinyl disc is a raw and unfiltered document of a band at the peak of their powers.
A Sonic Time Capsule of UK82
CHRON GEN's music is a snarling response to the social and political turmoil of the early 1980s. The band's sound is a raw, unadulterated blast of punk rock fury, driven by furious drumming, distorted guitars, and Glynn Barber's distinctive vocals, which veer from a menacing growl to a desperate howl.
Tracks like "Live Next Door to Alice," "Ripper," and "Puppets of War" are not just songs; they're anthems for a generation disillusioned with the status quo. The lyrics are filled with social commentary, railing against authority and celebrating the spirit of rebellion.
Punk Rock Authenticity, No Studio Trickery
The FREE LIVE EP is a testament to CHRON GEN's commitment to punk rock authenticity. This isn't some overproduced studio creation; it's a raw and unvarnished document of a live performance. The sound is raw and gritty, with the audience's cheers and shouts adding to the atmosphere of controlled chaos.
This EP is a must-have for any self-respecting punk rocker. It's a sonic time capsule of a bygone era, a reminder of the power of punk rock to challenge the status quo and give voice to the voiceless. So crank up the volume, let your hair down, and get ready to experience the raw power of CHRON GEN.
