Discharge were formed in 1977 in Stoke-on-Trent, England by Terence Roberts (vocals, drums, guitar) and Royston Wainwright.
Discharge and bands such as Chaos UK, Amebix and Charged GBH took the existing 1977-era punk sound and melded it with the incessant, heavy drumbeats and "wall of sound" distortion guitar. The drum beat used by Discharge is referred to as D-beat. It became a subgenre of hardcore punk. Like Crass, Discharge supported anarchism and displayed the anarchist symbol.
The band disbanded in 1987 shortly after the release of "Grave New World", a mainstream heavy metal album, but would end up reforming in 1990.
Band members:
Kelvin Morris - vocals
Anthony Roberts - guitar
Royston Wainwright - guitar, bass
Gary Moloney - drums.
