The Exploited: Punk’s Loudest Voice
Since 1979, The Exploited has been a relentless force in the world of punk rock, known for their raw energy, rebellious lyrics, and unapologetically aggressive sound. Led by the iconic Wattie Buchan, this Scottish band became the voice of disillusioned youth, channeling anger, frustration, and defiance into explosive anthems like «Punks Not Dead» and «Dead Cities».
Over four decades, The Exploited has stayed true to their roots, delivering hard-hitting performances that speak to the punk ethos of fighting against conformity, government oppression, and societal decay. Their live shows are a whirlwind of fury and passion, with the audience feeding off the chaos they create on stage. For a photographer, capturing the sheer intensity of a band like The Exploited is an adrenaline-filled experience—you can feel the electricity in every shot, the history in every movement.
Punk isn’t just music; it’s a statement. And through my lens, I aim to show the raw, unfiltered energy that has kept The Exploited at the forefront of punk for generations. Get ready to experience the riot through the photos of their latest performance.
