Formed originally during the late 70's in Stoke-on-Trent by the twins Terry (Tezz) and Tony (Bones) Roberts along with Roy (Rainy) Wainright and drummer Tony (Acko) Axon, Discharge became one of the new breed of punk bands amongst the oncoming onslaught of N.W.O.B.H.M. (New Wave of British Heavy Metal). Frontman Kelvin (Cal) Morris was recruited as the decade drew to its close with Tezz switching from vocals to drums as Acko exited. With the aid of Tanya Rich introducing the lads to Clay Records owner Mike Stone, little did anyone know after signing the band he would produce what would soon become Britain's most visual, thunderous stamps to break the hardcore soundbarrier worldwide.



After many releases, personnel and style changes throughout their career, the original line-up of Cal, Bones, Rainy and Tezz recorded "DISCHARGE" for Sanctuary Records in 2002 for a very short-lived reunion. Cal chose not to tour, so the band approached Anthony (Rat) Martin from The Varukers and employed him on the mic to tour huge tracts of land once again. The band continue their influential legacy in the 21st century first releasing "TOUR EDITION 001" followed by the accompanying blitzkrieg 3 song EP of new material entitled "BEGINNING OF THE END"(on Thunk Records), barely a look at tomorrow until August 2008 saw the independent release of their "DISENSITISE" CD, a solid wall of noise produced by Bri Doom( http://www.myspace.com/bridoom ) released through Vile records( http://www.myspace.com/4519625 02 ) /Cargo UK. -- Chris Corkum

We Follow Our Convictions Through To The End All Or Nothing, The Way It Is, Nothing False No Pretence Computer Generated Name That's All You Are. FUCK YOU. Our Actions Always Speak Louder Than Your Words Ever Do. The Cheap Shots That You Take, The Assassin With No Face. We Answer To No One, Just To Put The Record Straight.

The Nightmare Continues...
