Redskins

About

Redskins were a British post-punk and agit-prop band active during the 1980s, known for combining politically charged lyrics with an energetic, guitar-driven sound. Emerging from the UK underground music scene, the band created work that blended punk sensibilities with new wave influences, often addressing social and political themes. Their discography includes the album "Neither Washington Nor Moscow" (1986), which exemplifies their ideological stance and sonic approach. The group also recorded sessions for BBC Radio 1's John Peel show, later compiled as "The Peel Sessions" (1987), documenting their live performance style. The band performed across Europe, as evidenced by their recorded concert at Quartier Latin in Berlin (1986). Redskins represented a strand of 1980s underground music that prioritized socially conscious messaging alongside artistic experimentation, contributing to the broader post-punk and alternative music movements of their era.
