Discharge

Discharge are a highly influential British hardcore punk band from Stoke On Trent, UK, one of the main bands responsible for starting crust punk, and serving as sole inspiration for a legion of bands who played a branch of hardcore punk called "d-beat" for how they paid tribute to Discharge's distinctive guitar and drum interplay. They later went on to play in the '80s crossover hybrid of hardcore and thrash. Discharge are still active today, fronted by Varukers vocalist Rat.
