The Partisans - Idiot Nation



The Partisans formed in Bridgend, in South Wales in early 1978, disbanded in 1984, having several hits on the UK Indie Chart. The band finally re-formed in the late 1990s. And after 25 years without recording any new material, one of the best punk rock finest was returned with its best. Containing Blasting 11 new punk rock tunes with upbeat rhythms and some poppy songs, the Partisans have returned from their old school punk rock roots with Idiot Nation CD that released in 2004 by Dr. Strange Records. Good guitar solos in all tracks, steady drums and politically charged lyrics make Idiot Nation a great punk album with Stooges like influences and at times more melodic tunes. Yes, this band so political, even in their official website they once said : --" The Partisans stand by our every word, even in the modern world. We objected to the tactics of News International Ltd (U.K.) in the 1980's - and we're fully aware of the fact that it's the same old corporate shit running the same old show." -- And it proven by well written lyrics that deal with current political issues, the economy, the Media etc. Not much to say, If youre a punk, especially into the catchier side of the early material, you need to own this.
