Instigators ‎- Nobody Listens Anymore

[@TomislavKovač-i4c]

The Instigators are without a doubt one of the best punk bands of the 1980s. Musically, they are excellent, on the level of the best songs of Subhumans and Peter and the Test Tube Babies: strong songs and choruses, excellent melodies on the guitar, deep and intelligent lyrics (about the lyrics the same cannot be said for PTTB, despite their excellent songs) and with good elements of heavy-metal. The Instigators also introduced a new aesthetic, simple, gentle but also effective, to their album covers. It is surprising with what power and casualness they play at the same time, and the singer's voice and way of singing is very suggestive and penetrating. In 1988, I did an interview with them in my French fanzine Temps Modernes. The guys were very kind to answer my questions. I still have a lot of respect for that band, which may not have seen the success and recognition it deserved, but which remains in many ways very original and enchanting. I have nothing but praise and congratulations for that band and I'm very glad to have met them in my life.

@@nomisvagabond139 'The Blood is on Your Hands' is also up there as one of the all time great punk singles. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

@@nomisvagabond139 ya lucky bastard! What about them today? Still playing, or? I had this on tape back in the 80s...dude,it was fun to be a punk in the 80s...still love this shit

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

@@nomisvagabond139 i was born in '68,so,the 80s were my time. Music was all around,pop scene was cheesy,synthetic sounds dominated but underground was at his peak. My biggest love was Hardcore and punk,but i loved other styles too, post punk, noise, anything that was loud and guitar driven. But PUNK was the KING. Still is.
