IMPACT Demo 1980 1984

Continuando con la seguidilla de esos discos que me siguen cautivando cada vez que los escucho, toca el turno a la banda IMPACT, pero claro, es facil confundirlos con la banda Italiana de Hardcore Punk. Lo menciono porque esta es menos conocida y como lo dije antes, mucho mejor.

 Fueron un quinteto compuesto por Punks y Skins originales del país de Gales y que perduraron en el tiempo casi dos años.

 Mucho no se sabe de ellos, pero revolviendo y encontrando informacion podes  enterarte por ahi que originalmente se llamaban ANARCHY-SQUAD.

 no solo hay poca información en fanzines y en la red de internet acerca de ellos, sino que tampoco hay mucho material en audio de esta banda.

 IMPACT cuenta a dia de hoy con 3 demos en casettes, de los cuales los dos primeros ya se han vendido unas 160 copias gracias a Cartel.

Fue a partir de la segunda cinta que los registros de No Future seleccionaron 'Storm Trooper Tactics' para su 12"..."A Country Fit For Heroes Vol. 2.

También se encuentran en los Sellos: Patrol, Intensive Care, A.B.H., Mania, Government Lies, Criminal Damage y quizas en algún otro.

Desde entonces, sacaron su propio single llamado 'Punk Christmas' con dos canciones en el lado B 'Ley de la tierra' ( Law of the Land) y 'Tu decisión (Your Desicion).

 La lírica de la banda como era frecuente en esa época trataban acerca de temas como el acoso policial, la crueldad hacia con los animales, los políticos y sus mentiras sin fin.

Producifo en 2012si tenes alguna info mas para agregar será bienvenida.



Continuing with those discs that continue captivating me every time I listen to them, it is the turn of the IMPACT band, but of course, it is easy to confuse them with the Italian band of Hardcore Punk.
I mention it because it is less known and as I said before, much better.


They were a quintet composed of original Punks and Skins of the country of Wales and that lasted in the time almost two years.


Much is not known about them, but by rummaging and finding information you can find out that they were originally called ANARCHY-SQUAD.


Not only is there little information in fanzines and on the internet about them, but there is not much audio material from this band either.


IMPACT has today 3 cassette demos, of which the first two have already sold about 160 copies thanks to Cartel.


It was from the second tape that No Future records selected 'Storm Trooper Tactics' for its 12 "..." A Country Fit For Heroes Vol. 2.


Also found in the Seals: Patrol, Intensive Care, A.B.H., Mania, Government Lies, Criminal Damage and maybe in some other.


Since then, they released their own single called 'Punk Christmas' with two songs on the B side' Law of the Land '(Law of the Land) and' Your Decision (Your Desicion).


The lyrics of the band, as was common at that time, dealt with issues such as police harassment, cruelty towards animals, politicians and their endless lies.
