Punks Not Dead is the first studio album by the Scottish punk rock band The Exploited, released in April 1981 on Secret Records.[1][7] Working class and loyal to the first impulses of the 1970s punk movement, the album was a reaction to critics who believed the punk rock genre was dead, and went against popular trends such as new wave and post-punk.[8] It contains the double A side singles "Army Life/Fuck the Mods" and the later follow up "I Believe in Anarchy". "Army Life" details the experiences of Wattie Buchan when he was a 17-year-old squaddie on a tour of duty in Belfast in the 1970s.
Punks Not Dead peaked at no 20 on the UK charts in May of that year,[8][9] gave the band a national following in the United Kingdom and it was the top selling 1981 independent UK release.[10]
