Rapid-fire guitar hooks and a signature vocal vibrato define this collection of melodic punk. It captures the frantic, joyful ache of youth in three-minute bursts.

An Anthology is a masterclass in the art of the three-minute pop song disguised as a punk anthem. From the very first notes, the listener is thrust into a world of high-velocity downstrokes and melodic precision. The early tracks pulse with a raw, unvarnished energy that defined the late 1970s Northern Irish scene, yet they possess a structural sophistication that many of their peers lacked. It is music that feels perpetually in a hurry, driven by a restless desire to express the frustrations and ecstasies of youth before the song clock runs out.
