Discharge in Birmingham

Discharge are an English hardcore punk band formed in Stoke-on-Trent in 1977. Their early releases, including Realities of War, Why? and the album Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing, established the harsh guitar sound and driving drum pattern that gave d-beat its name. A concert at City Gardens in Trenton was documented on an official live release, preserving the group’s club-era material. Discharge later carried that catalogue onto festival stages, including Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and Hellfest in Clisson.
