The Ex - Disturbing Domestic Peace (1980)

 


It's ridiculously eerie just how familiar this album feels, as if all of the lyrics and subject matter are still relevant here and now in 2021? Anyway, this is the Dutch Punks debut record and it kicks right out of the gates. It's 28 minutes of piss and vinegar, scratchy, bass-heavy truths, spitting them right in your face. The Ex went on to create wild Punk-World-Fusion, that I honestly believe The Police were attempting to channel, before all of the money and love songs kicked in. Do your ears a favor and spin this. Preferably while wearing a torn leather jacket and drinking a beer.
