police story

Svart Records proudly presents the reissue of classic debut album by early 80’s Welsh punksters The Partisans!

The Partisans, often described as “The Professionals meet The Clash”, were a punk band from Wales that started in '78, when all four members were still in their early teens. Their self titled debut album hit No.5 in the Independent Chart and No.1 in the Punk Chart when first released on (the highly collectable) No Future Records back in 1983. Police Story is an extended edition of their debut album accompanied with additional tracks from the Police Story / Killing Machine 7" (1981) and 17 Years Of Hell EP (1982).

The song, like much of their work, addresses themes of social injustice, police brutality, and youth discontent. The album itself is a defining work of early UK punk, blending anthemic choruses with raw, powerful energy, capturing the essence of the band's anti-authoritarian stance.
