Culture Shock – Ohrwurm (Original Mix)
Biography
1)Culture Shock were an anarcho-punk / punk-dub-ska band formed in Warminster, Wiltshire, UK, in 1986 by Dick Lucas, previously of the Subhumans.
Their three LPs, “Go Wild”, “Onwards and Upwards” and “All The Time!”, were released on Bluurg Records. They also did 205 gigs between 86-89.
Culture Shock mixed their punk roots with ska and reggae music to a previously unheard extent and influenced the styles of bands like AOS3, Radical Dance Faction, Back To The Planet, Bender, The AK 47’s, The Dicemen at a time when the free festival scene was under state attack following the cessation of the Stonehenge Festival; Culture Shock were one of a heap of bands playing as many festivals as possible, alongside their more regular gigs and this earned them a broard range of support.
Dick’s lyrics were mostly concerned with social and political issues, from cruelty to animals, Northern Ireland, war, and social alienation, but were far from angry rants, often finding a positive and empowering perspective. Culture Shock split in 1989, as Bill and Nigel both had young families to support. Dick went on to form Citizen Fish with Jasper, the bassist for Culture Shock’s final album, and two other former members of the Subhumans. Nigel died in 1993.

It's a bit sad how people are getting all worked up because a few artists share the same name on Last.fm. Maybe you guys should get your priorities straight.

DnB Culture Shock should have done his research before choosing the name. Culture shock were a well established ska punk band in the mid to late 80's with 3 albums. No point arguing who's better - I like both D&B and ska punk. He just should have chosen an original name! [3]

I Remember / Troglodyte, such a big release. What a shame that he only gets 2-3 tracks and a remix out there a year, he is one of the my favourite producers. City Lights needs a release!

I could listen to Ohrwurm a million times and it'd STILL be stuck in my head. Should of seen my face when I found out it means Earworm in German...

Mikezzi
Absolutely, Fooshii. Was really hoping that he would get an EP release, with Protection, Ohrwurm, I Remember and City Lights. He doesn't get enough releases imo. But if I had to chose two of his dubs, it would be Protection and Ohrwurm

'I Remember' needs a full release!
-
Mikezzi
Protection/Ohrwurm might be the best release of the year so far. Great to finally get them after waiting for like a year!
