XPOZEZ - DEMOCRAZY EP

This 7” is the first vinyl product from the BCT re-releases (up until now it’s all been on CD). Of the 170 bands from 17 countries that filled the 27 BCT compilation tapes, XPOZEZ was the only one from the UK. Amazing but true! And speaking of amazing… have you heard this? Yes, all four of these tracks were on the “I Thrash, Therefore I Am” CD but I still think this 7” was a great idea. “Democracy” and “Skitzophrenia” (sic) are two of the best sing-a-long punk ditties ever. And you haven’t lived until you’ve heard XPOZEZ rip through “My Generation”, literally tearing it to pieces as an anthem of the 60s and recreating it as a war cry for punks of the 80s. I don’t know how many pressings are planned but this first one is limited to 300 copies, so start trolling eBay right now, although you may be able to score it directly from enterruption.com.
-Short Fast and Loud 10

An old band from the North of England, some of whom later became the INSTIGATORS, released by an old tape [yes, once upon a time there was a fierce worldwide tape trading orgy going on, and thanks to people like Chris BCT (Borderless Countries Tapes) no matter where you lived in the world you could hear bands from Brazil or Finland or fucking Huddersfield…] label on vinyl, about 18 years later. I used to have a XPOZEZ demo tape and I really liked it, it’s weird to hear these songs again almost two decades later. The tracks are “Democracy”, “Nightclub” , “Strategy”, “Skitzophrenia”, & “My Generation”. Somebody should release a complete XPOZEZ thing CD. (AD)
