About
The Exploited are a Scottish punk rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1978 by Stevie Ross and Terry Buchan, with Buchan soon replaced with his brother, Wattie Buchan. They signed to Secret Records in March 1981, and their debut EP, Army Life, and debut album, Punks Not Dead, were released that year. The band maintained a cult following in the 1980s among hardcore working class punks and skinheads. Originally a street punk band, the Exploited evolved into crossover thrash with their album Death Before Dishonour in 1987.
Although the Exploited continue to perform live, they have not released studio material since their 2003 album Fuck the System. Their songs have been covered by Slayer and others. Despite numerous lineup changes, Wattie has remained the Exploited's singer and leader.

The Exploited est un groupe de punk rock écossais, originaire d'Édimbourg, en Écosse. À partir du classique punk rock des débuts, le groupe intègre rapidement des éléments de punk hardcore et de oi! à son jeu, faisant évoluer sa musique dans un registre rapide et nerveux. Depuis la fin des années 1980, le groupe incorpore des éléments de thrash metal à sa palette, renforçant encore le caractère brutal de sa musique.
