I was 50 when I first heard this. I’m 94 now!
lol
serious? If so, that's bad ass. No joke.
I fucking love you man if you're not winding us all up I bought the 1980-1986 EPs collection so I didn't scratch my realities of war & fight back EPs in 1987 or was it 1988 anyway I don't know what I was going to say now had a little drink but take care of yourself anyway old dude DISCHARGE FOREVER
did you fight ww2?
@Soundeagle3456 love that too somebody please say something like I'm 16 but my mum & dad raised me on DISCHARGE CHAOS UK EXTREME NOISE TERROR & loads of other punk hardcore crust or whatever & let me know there's more than just idiots growing up today
Discharge are a piece of history. Both Metal and Punk shouldn't have been the same, without them.
they launched a whole entire genre as well!
haven't heard this for donkeys years !! I just read a book about "Cult and Evolution of Black Metal" .. amazing how many bands were influenced by Discharge :-)
@@MyEvolution5 a lot of Punk / Hard - Core bands, or early acts that united Punk and Metal, influenced Black Metal. Too many to name in few lines. An anedocte that i always rememeber is that Quorton, back in the day, used to put an ad in a musical instruments shop in Stockholm looking for other musicians to form a band with, and that he quoted three bands as his main inspiration source in the ad, one being GBH, another one another classic band of Punk / Hard - Core whose name i can't rememebr, and only the third band were a Metal band, MAYBE Iron Maiden. The "core - fact" is that his main influences were , as above said, Punk / Hard - Core. A band like GISM, the pioneers from Japan, for example, was born as an Extreme Punk act, but their riffs and vocals and sopund in general have a lot of what later should have been defined Black Metal (some of the latter Black Metal knew the band, some didn't). Venom themselves were half Punk half Metal. King Diamond and Hank Shermann from Mercyful Fate used to sing / play in Punk bands. Whether one likes it or not, Extreme Metal and Black Metal particularly owes A LOT to Punk.
@assurdo888 I am into Extreme/Black Metal...but my musical roots lie in punk/hard-core punk. My hometown gave us the ANWL 😎
Motorhead
I remember listening to this as a teenager in the 80's. there was nothing harder out there! I still own this 45 on vinal. a prized part of my record collection
Im 57 now & still lovin it.
I HAVE THIS ONE OLSO ALONG WITH THE OTHER EARLY ONES WOULDN'T PART WITH THEM FOR NOTHING PUNK IS FOR LIFE NOT PART TIMERS LONG MAY IT LAST
@@iandarragh6437 good music lasts forever and thankfully i was lucky to grow up with punk,still love it today,punks here forever ian and we are all still in it.

@@andrewrobertson3737 Me too, i am 54😊
I am nearly fifty years old snd I still get pleasure in going into the local park and screaming"they declare it...fucking WAR!" They haven't banned me yet
a drum pattern that never leaves my head
Best punk band.ever.
Try GBH
Fuckin punishing
I had the EP and the leather jacket to go with it, now 49 years old and still listening to this sort of stuff. Its as fresh as the day it was released. how many bands did they influence, must be 100s
shortly 1000s
oh yeah moonhog01 me too mate. Right on the button. Without Discharge Metallica, Slipknott et al wouldn't exist. Can't believe I'm 49 too :)
Im 48 and grew up listening to this, still got me singles, loud days.
100s In Sweden alone ; ) .
moonhog01 Yeah i concur , i had a RAF flying jacket compete with studs and discharge cloth badge ,only wish i'd kept it . I am 50 and still listen to them too ..
What do we have here? The birth of modern underground extreme music.
+Richard Brown - Which spawned crust punk, then "thrash" (not thrash metal) bands like Heresy and ENT, then grindcore...
thrash and black metal too
@@shroomzed2947 dont forget pop punk
moe
If you call 83 onwards modern......
Timeless. At 53 I'm not going to cringe n say 'It's a racket", It's as intense and well produced as the day I heard them - 80/81...and the messages exactly the same. Brilliant and raw.
At 54, I concur my man.
It's probably wreck n roll...
At 54 me too lol😎
@@Alastor_UrLocalDumass same here 😁👍
John is this you from Ashton Preston?
One of the first singles I ever bought. The neighbours used to worry about me because I would shout out of my bedroom window 'they declare it... fucking WAR!' They were right to be worried, but still ... anarchy!
Lmao, sounds like helluva good time buddy. Wish I was there to see the neighbors faces!
I first heard discharge around 1983 as a young 14 year old punk kid it blew me away.
I was 18 in 83. It completely changed my attitude about punk and politics.
It’s crazy how modern they still sound. This ep and all the singles they released in the early 80s still sound fresh and modern.
This band is more relevant today than ever before
80-82 discharge forever!!!
U BETTER BELIEVE IT HARDCORE PUNK AT ITS BEST NO ONE CAN TOUCH THEM
I grew up listening to punk, ska and Oi through my Dad,, but of it all, I am glad I was introduced to this. This is the sound I want.
Fucking unreal
The birth of all extreme music
They Declare it, Is so Awesome
my fave on this ep
Im 53years old i was in punk mille, i can that...and love discharge great band...( i can much punk band on this fucking world...) and make that band...
Best band ever. Nothing comes close.
Nothing sounded like them back in the day
better than the Beatles
@@thomasdupont7186 the beatles invented all.
Saw these back in 1980, They warmed up doing realities of war and the sound was probably the loudest I have ever heard. The shear volume at the gig has lived with me to this day
All the way up to 11
I am 60 now.once a punk always a punk
I'LL DRINK TO THAT 🍻 ONCE YOUR IN THERE'S NO WAY OUT IT'S FOR LIFE NOT PART TIMERS 👍☠👍☠👍☠
great ep great Discharge D-Beat monsters!
my soul is clean again , rid of media radio , praise the lord !
Hello all my brothers and sisters all over the world. We are the old punks now lol.....old
....but the music is immortal.
This e.p. certainly is.
bands like Inepsy, Varukers, even Defiance never would've even picked up music if it wasn't for Discharge's bone-crushing debut EP!
This was probably the hardest hitting tune back in the day it changed me as a punk while my m8s still listened to the pistols etc i was into discharge ❤
EP still sounds fresh, amazing band..
40 years later insane
@Creature Rock man whats EP ?
Fiero Vitto extended play with more tracks than a single, but fewer tracks than an album (album is called LP)
I love this EP. I come here to get strength!
And so it began...
Keep seeing everyone in the comments talking about listening to this in the 80s... I feel a little left out as a 15-year-old. 😶 Any other young punks/metalheads here?
Hell yeah! Punk for life.
Fucking awesome band back then you didn't need drink or drugs for adrenalin just this to go mental !!! Proper punk rock
no drugs needed just anger
Society's victim still sounds brutal after all these years
probs my fave tune on the record
2018 more than 1980
as a dedicated '76 to '77er i thought the best was behind us until i heard this.
The 70’s saw the dust and dirt of the old tired rock and roll get shaken off in a fit of pent up aggression and resentments. Must have been quite a rush.
But, the bands of the second wave stepped in in leather and Mohawks singing reactionary lyrics and were the working class themselves not being paid lip service by art school students.
But, I wasn’t really there but pretty brushed up on my punk rock history.
Discharge started in 77 if I'm not mistaken, but when cal started doing vocals that shit was next level fucking brutal.
If you lived in Stoke you would be this angry too
I had a great summer in NYC where this little ep was the soundtrack with a few other bands. Youth! One of the best summers of my young life!
Raw and brutal.
My favorite record from discharge
Done a swap for this discharge e.p for a shitty sham69 album. Best thing i ever did.
neil phillips which sham album
whitedwarf13 can't remember the name of the album. It had Hersham boys and gonna be a borstal break out on it and the cover was of newspaper cuttings over it. . . .
neil phillips That's Life is the Name of the Sham lp
neil phillips fuck sham 69 ! puro D BeAT
bum skag lol, , , , went to see sham69 and wot a ripoff, never again, they only played for an hour the support band's played longer. .and they were shit to.
They declare it,hard-core punk at its finest
Wish i lived in stoke back then lived nearby for a while in uttoxeter but to early for it 1976 bastard!!!! :(
...and it's still as relevant as it was in 1980.
Best of the 2nd wave punk bands fucking loved this band more than my hometown band the exploited they inspired a lot of bands back then and still do
i was in junior high school. college radio used to play this during their punk/hardcore nights. it was the best. what great memories.
Love the vocals, riffs, basslines, rhythm and the purpose of the songs!!!
my favorite of Discharge
This has always been my fav Discharge record. Something about this one really does it for me. I mean, they all do, but ya know…
I keep coming back to my youth
I was a punk who visited Romford in 1985 to see some fellow punks who we all met in Cornwall (Butlins). Sweet memories.
I've still got this record.
AND I STILL HAVE MINE ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHERS WON'T PART WITH THEM 4 ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD
It was the birth of CLAY RECORDS !!!!!
The birth of extreme music😎
40 years of this jewel.
Not a big fan of Hardcore Punk, but I really enjoy this band!
Edit: Now I'm addicted to Hardcore Punk lol.
Well, you’re really missing out!
All the hardcore punk bands I've been around act like nazi skinheads from hollywood movies. They're all on power trips.
@@craigharrison1274 maybe try some d beat and crust punk lije nausea, anti cimex, skitsystem, disrupt
I'm not talking about the music. I'm talking about the way the band members behave in real life.
@@craigharrison1274 oh yea i know im just saying that those kind of punks would probably act more normal
Just saw my comment from 8 years ago! Saw them at the 100 club in January with my son and we both loved every minute of it. Still a great band
THIS IS DISCHARGE IN THEIR PRIME HARDCORE PUNK AT ITS BEST ☠ 👍 ☠ 👍 ☠
Discharge. The definition of a "Not Fun" band. And we love them for that.
This and Pure Hell-Noise Addiction are timeless
Just now discovering these guys. Wish I had sooner. Frickin awesome 👌
Don't know if anybody cares , but I remember this when it released ,a brilliant cover image & realising this was (like 'Feeding the 5,000 'by Crass) something very different in the punk genre .After playing a side on his show John Peel said " the sound of discontented Stoke on Trent" ,which stuck in my mind ....
yea i remember this well as i do the feeding of the 5000 by crass. i cant remember where i bought the realitys of war ep but it was the week it was released and i bought the feeding of the 5000 direct from small wonder records on the small wonder label before it was re-released....in my punk days of course where my true roots are
I still have everything they did originally first saw them live in 1981 London on Apocalypse Now tour & few times with GBH who blew them off stage every time.Still have my Crass stuff &, 99.9 % of my 70's/80's punk vinyl
If someone said to me it was in my punk days, I would think they were never punk anyway, they were just on the band waggon. I am still a punk from 77 and been listening to new punk bands ever since 77,
@@woodycfc3429 ..yes I remember the '81 Apocalypse Now tour' , saw it with Discharge, Chron Gen, Charge & the Exploited..even tho Discharge & Exploited were very different types of band ...
@@paulwilson4189 Exactly.
Absolutely Brilliant Classic Brought It On It's First Pressing/Release ⭐⭐🔗🔒⭐⭐
Best ep I ever bought..fucking awesome band
I agree.
U HAVE VERY GOOD TASTE MY FRIEND THEY SHOW ALL THE OTHER WANNABES HOW IT IS DONE KEEP SPREADING THE WORD DON'T 4 GET IT IS FREE SPEECH 4 THE DUM
Still have everything they originally did still all great stuff I first time I saw them live was 1981 Apocalypse Now tour in London(They were Terrible) with Exploited, Anti Pasti, Chron Gen, Anti Nowhere League & played with GBH alot who blew them off stage every time.
The beginning of a completely new sound it was music with a message top class
Used to own these and must get em again. One of the most important bands EVER.
I Would buy 2 tickets to see Discharge .

nice - clay 1

slap head Enjoy Slap head , they were and still are Quality .
Loved this band and I also had the jacket only to get torn to shreds when I binned my rd250 big time in 1981 :(
Went yo see them in London in 1983....Rainy was at the bar so I got him a pint....brilliant gig at the Zig Zag club
Stoke on Trent
Live in Preston EP (1980)
1st demo (1977)
Such a solid ep, front to back.
The riff on they declare it is genius
Sounds like distorted Ramones riff
It is,they had great riffs.
@@frankiesparks2868It's the riff from the song "Commando" by the Ramones
Got all the eps but this one's the fucking best
I still have the ticket from a gig of the Apocalypse Now tour: Digbeth Civic Hall in Birmingham: Exploited, Discharge, Anti-Pasti plus support.
It was Tuesday, 7th July, 1981. The ticket was £3.
According to the ticket (never took any notice before) the show was presented by Wall to Wall Stage Shows.
I love the mix. Specially the drums. Drums doesn't sound like drums anymore haha
takes me way back to 1980 . Newark palace . wot a gig....
Got this ep in a charity shop for 2 quid last year, best purchase I ever made!
I bet you couldn't believe your luck.
Mine was 25p in 1984!!! Good find bro.
heard them on john peel / bought the e,p and went to see them at erics club in liverpool in early 1980
AND I BET U DON'T REGRET IT ? I HAVE EVERY RECORD THEY HAVE PUT OUT AND LOADS OF PRESS CUTTINGS U CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS KEEP POGOING
I was there at that, couldn't hear a fuckin thing for a week.
The only thing that came close to watching these was dead Kennedy's and then seeing blitzkrieg at planet x😂😂
@@kidda08 DEAD KENNEDYS I HAVE A LOT OF THEIR STUFF JELLO AND WATTIE R GOOD FRIENDS NOT 🤣🤣 I AM MORE INTO DISCHARGE, G,B,H CHAOS UK, RIOT SQUAD, ABRASIVE WHEELS, THE EXPLOITED, THE PARTISANS, ONE WAY SYSTEM, ETC , WHAT ABOUT YOURSELF
@@iandarragh7060 chaos uk!! 4 minute warning, had that ep!
@@iandarragh7060 everything you have there mate I was In to especially GBH, god I love them! Probably one my fave bands is subhumans, listen to them each week....then I had a period with Bauhaus , southern dealt cult, sex gang children, dead or alive.....seen those in the very early days when music was really changing!@
TOP PUNX BAND !!!
my fav old discharge demo
watched these playing with GBH back in the 80s at the mayflower club in manchester so many times fuckin amazin
Never been bettered , best thing Discharge done !
Better than Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing?
Yeah, the EPs and the singles are way better than Hear Nothing. Easily.
I don't think '80-''82 discharge worked as an lp band , really was this & Decontrol +being on the 'Apocalypse Now' tour with Exploited,Chron Gen & Charge in '81 that were their peaks ,After '81 punk was pretty much over I felt..
swell map there 1977 material is way better
Ouvi esse som qdo tinha 13 anos e gosto até hj tenho 45 anos muito legal
Still have the 45 after all these years......
Excellent
Relentless punishment!! I don’t think ya really have a choice but to love these fux!!!
Bien periqueado en plena cuarenta 😎
This single was my first one and the start in a punk live.
War is a black hole to avoid
Love it..
40 years later... DISCHARGE! Relevant aint even a thing it's reality!
Takes me back to when I posessed this ep. and the line-up I saw at Birmingham Digbeth Civic hall.
This all i need.

In other words; 506 Kelvin :)
Awesome
Punx before my birthday
Met these guys back stage at Eric's Liverpool, 1980, class punk band!!!!!!!
andrew harrison
How old were you, then, compared to now?
Arvark 17 at the time, 53 now, how time flys
Are you sure it was Eric's? I think Eric's had closed down before this ep was released . Discharge did play Brady's though.
@@rrbh I was sure it was Eric's, got given drum sticks from the drummer, though we are talking over 40 years ago, we used to blag our way back stage
@@a1andyharrison Realities of War came out March 29th 1980. Eric's closed down 14th March 1980. I don't think Discharge did any dates outside of Stoke until the EP started selling. They did play Brady's in 1981 and some photos have finally emerged from that gig. I will be very surprised if we can truly establish that it was an Eric's event. I'm also hearing rumours that their early Liverpool gig involved a massive punch-up at some point or other ...again, details are sketchy.
Absolutely Reality PUNK and ANARCHY
