Discharge is a highly influential United Kingdom punk band, one of the main bands responsible for starting crust punk, and serving as sole inspiration for a legion of bands who played a subgenre of hardcore punk called " d-beat" for how they paid tribute to Discharge's distinctive guitar and drum interplay. They later went on to play in the '80s crossoverhybrid of hardcore and thrash. Discharge are still active today. Discharge formed in 1977 with the original line up of Terry 'Tez' Roberts on Vocals, Tony 'Bones' Roberts on Guitar, Roy 'Rainy' Wainwright on guitar, Nigel Bamford on bass and Akko on drums. Shortly after Nigel Bamford left the group and Rainy moved to bass.
