The Partisans are a punk rock band hailing from Bridgend, South Wales, UK. Formed in 1978, the original lineup consisted of Phil Stanton on vocals, Rob "Spike" Harrington on guitar and vocals, Andy Lealand on guitar, Mark 'Savage' Parsons on bass, and Mark 'Shark' Harris on drums.

In 1979, the band underwent some changes with Rob taking over vocal duties and Louise Wright joining as the new bassist. This lineup entered the 123 Studio in Cardiff in 1981 to record their first demo. The demo caught the attention of Garry Bushell who championed them in Sounds magazine and invited them to contribute to the Carry On Oi! LP.

After splitting up towards the end of 1982, The Partisans reformed in late 1983 and relocated to Bayswater in London. With a new lineup consisting of Rob on guitar and vocals, Andy on guitar, Dave Parsons (formerly of Dig Dig Dig) on bass, and Shark on drums. However, they disbanded again in 1984.

In the late 90s, The Partisans made a comeback with yet another new lineup featuring Rob on vocals, Andy on guitar once again alongside Magnus Neundorff on bass and Mikael 'Gustaf' Gustavsson handling drumming duties.

19 track round up of demos from The Partisans who formed in Bridgend, South Wales in 1978 and ended up being one of the cream of the UK82 punk movement. The first side of the LP has 10 tracks recorded in April 1980 in one day and like bands in their early years - it features mainly covers. It includes songs from the Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, UK Subs, Buzzcocks, UK Subs, Cockney Rejects and yes even more UK Subs. It also has primitive and raw versions of future Partisans classics No Time and I Don’t Give a Fuck. This demo has never been heard or released in any form. Less than a year later, February 1981 with Savage leaving and Louise joining on bass, the band have their most well know line up and are in full flow with a 6 track demo that was sent to No Future Records. It’s not surprising the label snapped them up straight away as the recordings are high energy and full of anthemic gems. The label released Police Story and Kiling Machine as the debut 7” direct from these recordings. The other four tracks from this demo have never been released on vinyl. The last three tracks on the LP are the demos from 1982 recorded for No Future for the 17 Years of Hell Single. Rawer and more punk than the actual well know versions. All members of the bands helped in this release and shared original masters from which everything was remastered plus archive from their own personal collections including photos galore, handouts, ticket stubs, interviews etc which are included in the 28 Page Booklet.
