Bristol Mod Explosion 1979-1987 (white Marble)
Limited to 300 copies on White Marble Vinyl. Bristol Archive Records have been telling the story of the incredibly diverse Bristol Music scene for many years now. The label has gained considerable success with their previous releases 'The Bristol Reggae Explosion' series - Volumes one, two and three covering 1978 to the end of the 80's. We followed the Reggae vibe with another critically acclaimed reggae release 'The Bristol Roots Explosion' and in 2023 we turned our attention to punk with 'The Bristol Punk Explosion 1977-1979'. Now we turn our attention to another Subculture - Mods and we bring you 'The Bristol Mod Explosion 1979-1987' This album covers the period 1979 to 1987 and features 14 tracks. When punk rock started to fizzle out and Squat Punks started to appear on the streets, many of the UK's disaffected youths had already moved sideways into Modernism and fell in love with bands like The Jam, Secret Affair, The Purple Hearts, The Lambrettas and The Chords but lets also remember our love for The Beat, Madness and The Specials.
