ANTI-SYSTEM - A Look At Life 12'' 1986

Fine music to start the gray Wednesday and again, over the channel where we meet Anti-System, a "British anarcho punk band which were formed in Bradford 1981 with a line-up of Phil (drums), George (bass), Nogsy (vocals) and Dom Watts (guitar) the band recorded a demo whose tracks found their way onto Punk Dead-Nah Mate, The Smell Is Jus Summink In Yer Underpants Innita, a Pax Records compilation. Their debut release was the five-track Defence Of The Realm EP issued in 1983, which was followed (on Reconciliation Records after the closure of Pax Records) with the No Laughing Matter album in 1985 and the A Look At Life 12'' in 1986. Like some other anarcho-punk bands of the time the band were promoters of animal rights causes, their debut EP being a benefit for animal welfare groups and prior to the recording of the A Look At Life there was a necessity for a new line-up as two of the original members had been imprisoned for various animal rights actions. Mark Keane and Michael Teale were imprisoned in 1986, shortly after recording. The band reformed in 2014." Five dynamic fetzer on a high level, clean production and "In My Eyes" is a blast.
