Soul Jazz Records are releasing a new Punk 45 compilation, the snappily titled There Is No Such Thing As Society: Get A Job, Get A Car, Get A Bed, Get Drunk: Underground Punk And Post-Punk In The UK 1977-81, Vol 2. This volume follows on from the first on underground punk in America, and traces the rise of punk and post-punk in Britain in the late 70s through to the early 80s. Wire trivia: It includes a track by The Art Attacks, with The Wire's Edwin Pouncey on the mic. More details incoming on the February release here.
