Music Video Distributors and Dream Catcher are pleased to announce the home viewing release of The Exploited - Beat ëEm All for US distribution on DVD.In front of 3,000 raging fans in Poland in 2003, The Exploited performed a 19-song set for the DVD Beat ëEm All. They kept their reputation as riot starting, cop baiting, hotel-trashing maniacs as they rocked the stage and the fans went mad. Led by vocalist Wattie Buchan, the group formed in the late 70ís and consisted of John Duncan (guitar), Dru Stix (drums), and Gary McCorm (bass). In 1982 The Exploited released their first successful album, Troops of Tomorrow which pushed its way to number 17 on the charts and put them on the map. As one of the most influential punk bands ever, they have influenced bands such as Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana. Not only have The Exploited had an impact in the music world, but also a strong political influence. Over the years, they have garnered a hardcore audience in the UK for their anarchist stance and criticism of the government. Always being politically conscious and taking an anti-war stance, especially during the Regan era, The Exploited were one of the first punk bands to vocally express their political and social views. From the start there was no silencing them or diluting their public consumption. The Exploited are the definition of punk rock.
