   If you have a big bro or an uncle who was a part of the late-70s, early-80s Tranung punk scene, he’ll be totally excited. One Way System, along with Erazerhead, Special Duties, Chron-Gen, Anti-Pasti, Chaotic Dischord, Disorder etc., were a part of the what is now known as the “UK82″ scene, the scene that has the more popular bands such as The Exploited, Discharge, Charged GBH, Anti-Nowhere League, Vice Squad, etc.

   They were championed by one influential but rather controversial writer by the name of Garry Bushell, who were writing for Sounds, a UK weekly music paper which we kids in Tranung were subscribing to those days.

   Garry Bushell wss instrumental in putting together the first “Oi!” compilation, “Oi! The Album” which introduced the then very new “Oi!” sound, basically street-punk rock influenced by Sham 69 and The Cockney Rejects, punk rock made by working class kids of England, mixing the three-chords with the skinhead culture, with bands featuring both punks & skinheads (known as “skunk” – “skins + “punks”) etc.

   Anyway, the one song popular with us those days was “Stab The Judge” by One Way System, their first single as it was. As I remember it, they were a good boisterous street-punk band, the same style and mohawked demeanour, but of course not as big, as The Exploited in their heyday.

   The band split up in 1984 but may have reformed. I don’t know if I would be interested in the reformed band though. I don’t think there are any one of the original members still in the band.

   As seen when The Exploited were here, a lot of dumb boneheads and crazy-arsed clueless chaos punks would come out of the wood work in their weekend punk attire and flex their brainless macho muscles. I don’t think that’s a good idea. No disrespect to the band though, I still would go back and listen to their great “All System Go” album sometimes.

   Given a chance, I would rather get The Newtown Neurotics, Attila The Stockbroker or Flux of Pink Indians…

   I prefer One Way System over The EAxploited any day…

   Oh it was the Exploited, you must have at least one typo in your post if you’re a punk!
