Biography The Exploited
The Exploited is a punk rock band from the second wave of UK punk, formed
in late 1979 or early 1980.
They started out as a Oi! band, before mutating into a faster streetpunk
and hardcore punk band. From about 1987 on (around the time of Death Before
Dishonour) they changed into a crossover thrash band. Formed in Edinburgh
by ex-soldier Wattie Buchan, they signed to Secret Records in March 1981
and released their debut EP Army Life. The album Punks Not Dead followed in
the same year. Despite many lineup changes, the band continued into the
2000s and has developed a worldwide following.
