What's going on my fellow rock n' rollers. Don't forget to smash the bell notification icon to be notified every time i put out a new video on my channel. To a lot of people punk rock’s peak lasted from the mid to the late 70’s and It seemed like punk rock was a flash in the pan, but something that’s often overlooked is that even long after punk rock was thought to be dead there was one punk band that would inspire countless other bands of varying genres who followed in their footsteps. Who am I talking about? Stay tuned out find out.
Today we are going to talking about the band Discharge. The band didn’t just inspire other punk bands, but they were hugely influential on the metal bands that would go on to dominate the 80’s and 90’s. It was the band’s debut record Hear nothing See Nothing Say nothing that would unite once sworn enemies, punk rockers and metal heads.
Influential metal musician Steve Von Till, frontman for the metal band Neurosis reflected on the influence of the band’s debut record saying
“I’ve realised how much I’ve been influenced by what I call ‘The Discharge haiku’. It’s like a strange style of poetry - these short images of war and political deception. Unlike their earlier records, most songs were four lines, tops, but they say so much. It makes it epic, and you can apply them to your own time.”
He would go on to say:
“I was into metal at the time,” “This was before I found punk. But when the punks started telling us metal guys that we should listen to this album, we were intrigued" he'd add.
Now Discharge would form in 1977 in the English town of Stoke on Trent, the same town where Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash and Lemmy from Motorhead were born in. During the early days of the band no one thought the band would make such an impact on the punk and metal scene. Even by his own admission guitarist Tony ‘Bones’ Roberts would reveal how they were inspired by the bands who came before them and wanted to simply play music revealing to metal hammer “We Just listening to the clash and sex pistols and were having a go at doing that" he'd say.
Like pretty much every rock band Discharge went through a lot of lineup changes during their formative years. In addition to the lineup changes they would also release a number of straightforward singles and EP’s, but the band soon found a base with the small but loyal anarcho punk scene of the 1980’s.
Drummer Garry Maloney would reveal what was so exciting about the scene the band was involved in saying
“It was like a lifestyle that was different, exciting,” Likeminded people hanging out and going to gigs. It was brilliant. From my first show, seeing The Damned at Barbarella’s in Birmingham, to a few years later watching Black Flag soundcheck sitting on my flight case, I loved it all.”
Prior to recording their debut record the band would settle on a lineup consisting of the classic members of bassist Ryston Wainwright, drummer Gary Maloney, Anthony "Bones" Roberts playing guitar, and vocalist Kelvin "Cal" Morris.
As the band entered the studio to record their debut record, they had no clue they’d create the blueprint for bands like Metallica, Sepultura and Napalm Death. Bones would reveal in an interview “We really hit on something around that time,” “We had gone from sounding like a normal punk band into sounding like something else. It was all natural, though. We never tried to sound a certain way; we just started writing sounds about how we felt, and we felt like how that record sounded.”
Discharge would sign a record deal with local label Clay Records who also housed the other hugely influential punk band GBH. Since they were signed to an independent label the band wasn’t given much time in the studio and most songs on their debut album were done in one or two takes, but it didn’t matter. The results speak for themselves and Hear Nothing would combine elements of punk and metal.
The songs on the group's debut album shocked fans. The songs were bite sized pieces no longer than 2.5 minutes featuring the famous D-drum beat synonymous with punk and metal. The album tackled the horrors of war, capitalism, nihilism, paranoia, political deceptio

You haven’t lived until you see Cal screeching in falsetto, dressing like a dimestore version of Poison, doing a ludicrous duck-style walking back and forth across the stage while constantly wagging his finger!

Discharge was and still is my favorite band from this era and a big influence on my playing. I saw them twice in the 80s in L.A. and played a gig with them in 86. When we (Final Conflict) played with them they were in their metal phase and it didn't go over too well with the crowd. I still listen to them now in 2020. Their lyrics also opened my eyes to the problems in the world and the need for the downtrodden to have voice.

It was always the trendy, casual music listeners whom always thought of "sex pistols" as the golden age of "punk" when referring to the old punk period. I never did or do, that's a joke. The pistols were just a puff of smoke compared to Discharge, Black Flag, FEAR, The Exploited, Dead Kennedys; etc. And yeah, back in 1984 when I was a very young teen, I used to hear the hell out of my Discharge 7" with the songs "Realities of War", "They Declare It"; etc. , eventually buying their WHY? and the Never Again albums. I still listen to them. And when people say: "Pistols started punk". No they didn't. John Lydon saw the Ramones live in NY before the birth of the pistols. People forget about the Weirdos and all these other bands who came first. And Iggy Pop, New York Dolls' sounds were only prototypes for what the Ramones would start up.

The D beat is what lead to blast beats. Without that, there’s a lot of grind and death metal and so on that wouldn’t exist. Eventually it would of happened anyways, but it’s cool to track it all the way back to Discharge.
For me the 12" WHY that came before Hear Nothing was what grabbed me. It was a 12" 45, so technically an EP, but they had put out several 7" EPs before that, so the full 12" size of WHY seemed different then. I was an LA punk kid at the time and we had a huge scene and lots of the best bands ever. But the power of Discharge was different and heavier than the LA records (Germs GI being among the best punk records ever to me, but not even close to the heaviness of Discharge. Was a different thing). That, plus the spiky top, leather and studs look were so extreme that they grabbed a lot of us and moved the center of gravity for Punk from LA to the UK 82 thing. Starting around then, standing around front or drinking in the alley behind Poseur (a punk store on Melrose in Hollywood before the street was fashion trend central) on any weekend would be 30-50 spiky top, painted and studded leather jacketed kids, all with Discharge somewhere on our jackets. They were the godhead at that time. Hear Nothing did take it to another level with better production and the sound of a trillion angry bees flying through an extended nuclear explosion.

This is in my top 5 favorite punk bands Tezz Roberts moved to Chicago in the mid to late 90s we called him Terry Bones me and my buddies hung out with him does were some of the greatest time's from what I can remember he had a crib right next to the tattoo factory practically lived there the crazy debauchery that went down in that place he also had a band called broken bones check them out the number of bands he played with is unbelievable, thanks for bringing back some great memories, hands down best rock stories your killing it.
Saw them in 83 in Los Angeles, the power of this UK band was different from all the S California bands I had seen before. Cal was a showman for the ages and the ferocity of the band was unrivaled. Imagine several thousand punks in a swarming mass of arms, fists and boots. Seen hundreds of bands in my lifetime but this was the greatest show I ever attended
Hear nothing, see nothing, say nothing will forever be one of the rawest albums. It’s pure heavy and fast adrenaline and energy the entire way through. Long live Discharge

Terry Roberts' True Story would be a cool one - but you won't cover it in 5 minutes! Tezz has written so many of the epic songs that us (1980s) punks call anthemic; particularly his time in Broken Bones. His journey starting with Discharge to UK Subs, Broken Bones, The Business, GBH ... loads of others, and back to Discharge is the tale of a Legend.

I once met a straight down the line rock chick from Stoke on Trent, and she had never even heard of Discharge. She was the audience Cal was trying to appeal to, and not even the ones in their home town were interested. You mention GBH. Yes, saw them support Discharge a few times in 1981 at Birmingham Cedar Club. I am glad Discharge reformed and got back to what they are doing best - making hardcore brickwall Punk Rock. Broken Bones were fucking great as well. Saw them blow the UK Subs off the stage in October 1983 at Birmingham Tin Can Club.

Cockney Rejects tried to go metal around the same time
Look up Discharge live at the farm 1986 on KZread. I was at that show.the band had gone all Poison glam metal and followed DRI/Possessed/Attitude Adjustment and the crowd ate them alive. It was UGLY!

How did that band "Jody Foster's Army" get their name?

I think it's because the guy who shot Ronald Reagan said he did it for or because of Jody Foster for some reason.

Who became hardcore after hearing discharge lol
Ultra relevant again.
The 'small' anarcho punk bands were selling more records than the national pop charts at that time, the reason they didn't chart is because they were being sold at shops that weren't part of the chart compilation machine, punk bands regularly sold more than the N.1 chart singles and Crass outsold AC/DC, but independent labels weren't sold in mainstream record shops often or were not registered in the national charts only the 'Indie chart' , it was the corrupt major UK payola music labels that controlled who could hear what and they didn't like punk because it's bands preferred Indie labels who usually split money 50/50 and gave bands artistic freedom, big labels hated not being able to control those bands.
Great shit like G.B.H.
legendary album.
Hear nothing see nothing say nothing was the first Discharge Album...not their debut record! They had recorded singles..Decontrol, Realities of war ep and 12 inch mini album Why before this album!
Don't forget The MISFITS, too!

They deserve a proper documentary and book though. I've seen books and documentaryiesnon way less influencial bands.
The current West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona) punk scene is still heavily influenced by Discharge and other d-beat bands.
Tony is wearing a Scared For Life shirt in this video which is my bass player"a old band
I was listening to discharge and this was on the next list lol
There killer. 😀👍🤘🎸
hell yeah!
In Australia if people listened to Hawkwind in 1974, Motorhead started to influence Australia. Then when punk became global (Aussie band the Saints 1976 ," im Stranded"). Aussie hard core punks started to listen to Discharge, Anti Knowwhere league and Oi. Punk/metal for ever. Oi Oi Oi ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺
Love discharge since i was 15. Now do Cro Mags - Age of Quarrel
