The Exploited - Sign to Nuclear Blast Records!

Nuclear Blast Records are proud to announce the signing of British Punk legends The Exploited. Founded in 1980 in East Kilbride / Scotland by Wattie Buchan the band signed now a Worldwide contract with Nuclear Blast.

“At last, after giving my word four years ago that we would sign to Nuclear Blast, it’s now official! For us it's a big deal to be signing to the biggest Indie record company in Europe. One of the main reasons we signed to them is the fact that Marcus, the owner, is a big Exploited fan and I know he will give us 100% backing to make the next album as great as the last ones. Ps. It will be this year sometime!!!!! Punks not Dead” - Wattie Buchan (The Exploited)

"Having The Exploited sign a deal is a longtime dream coming true. In my youth I listened to Hardcore and Punk almost exclusively and The Exploited have been one of my absolute favorites ever since. Records like 'Punks not Dead, Troops of Tomorrow' and later on also 'Beat the Bastards' and 'Fuck the System' have been on heavy rotation constantly. The shows of this band have always been and still are a very special experience. Honest, hard and snotty just like Punk should be. A true highlight for me of course was their performance at the Nuclear Blast HQs on my birthday in 2013. After that the deal has been set via hand shakes and we’ve been celebrating till the break of dawn! Welcome to Nuclear Blast guys, Punks not dead!!” - Markus Staiger (Nuclear Blast Owner)

 

The eagerly awaited new album shall be released in autumn 2014!
