1) The Partisans are a punk rock band formed in Bridgend, in South Wales in the summer of 1979, when all four members of the band were 14 years old.
The band started off covering punk rock hits and soon started to compose their own material. They were the second band signed to Chris Berry’s No Future Records label, and their debut release, the double A-sided Police story/Killing machine was released September 28, 1981. It reached #5 on the UK Indie Chart, on the back of a tour with label-mates Blitz, and with strong support from Sounds writer Garry Bushell. Following the success of this single, The Partisans were included on the third volume of Oi! compilation Carry On Oi!, which reached #60 on the UK Album Chart, and won the band gig slots with Blitz, Peter and the Test Tube Babies and The Ejected, as well as a ‘No Future’ night at London, England’s Zig Zag Club with Red Alert, Blitz, and Peter and the Test Tube Babies.
The band released its second single, 17 Years of Hell, on May 27, 1982, peaking at #2 on the Indie Charts. This was followed by their self-titled debut LP, released in February 1983. It hit #5 in the Indie Chart and #1 in the Punk Chart, amid considerable critical acclaim from the national press and the underground fanzine culture.
After the departure of Louise Wright, the remaining members relocated to Bayswater in West London, with new bassist Dave Parsons to relaunch the band.
