RARE PUNK SINGLE OF THE WEEK: Chaos UK - Summer of Hate (1979)


This Chaos UK is not the well-known UK82 group from Bristol, but rather an overlooked one-off release from 1979 that was limited to only 500 copies, predating the better-known group's first release by 3 years.  The A-side, "Summer of Hate", sounds like early Crisis if they were fronted by Bon Scott, and that detuned bass really takes this slimy, mid-paced rocker to the max.  The B-side, "I Wanna Be Left Alone", is an even more sluggish chugger that drives the point home.
