Released in 1983 on London’s Legendary Mortarhate label, Conflict’s debut broke all rules in punk rock, setting new standards and storming independent charts, reaching and retaining position number 1 for several weeks. Formed in 1981 and led by vocalist Colin Jerwood, who would remain one of the group’s few constants throughout its 30 years of existence, and fueled by hatred for the media, the military and the general status quo of late century Thatcher’s England, Conflict has been a stainless model for three generation of peace punkers, activists and anarchists from all over the world.
