about

First played out by John Peel in 1984, not a lot has changed since then, if anything, things have got even worse.

lyrics

They're coming down with muscle and with brawn
in a ritual dance with shield and truncheon drawn
horses, whips and guns, CS gas,
come to rid our cities of the trash
They'll scream and shout when they're on the attack
and if you run they'll shoot you in the back
they'll kick you when you're down and break your head
beat you black and blue until you're dead

Don't you try
to ask them why
there's no reason
no reason
no reason when the Pig commits the crime

Diatribe England, UK

Formed in Reading, England in 1983, Diatribe burned out fast and hard, but left their mark on those who witnessed and heard.

One 12"EP, a John Peel Session and the promise of so much more, thwarted by the demons of addiction and self doubt.

This page is their legacy. Tracks are free to download, as they are sourced from masters of varying levels of quality and compression. ... more
