Alternative

About

Alternative hit the UK anarcho-punk scene like a Molotov cocktail. 1979 to 1987. A period of unrelenting political fury. Nine cassettes, one LP, and a barrage of raw energy. DIY ethos ran deep. Their message: confrontational, unapologetic. "No Government Can Ever Give You Freedom" — a manifesto on tape, not a suggestion. Titles like "Eat The Rich" and "War! The Inheritance Of Hate" cut through complacency. Aesthetic? Rough, unpolished. Intentionally abrasive. Each release a cultural critique, a visceral commentary on societal decay. Anarcho-punk wasn't just a genre; it was a battleground. Alternative stood with Omega Tribe, Flowers In The Dustbin, and the rest, amplifying dissent. BBP Records and Corpus Christi served as allies in their sonic revolt. The band dissolved, but their impact remains. Fading not into silence, but into the echoes of rebellion.
