The Beat to End all Beats: Mania for Discharge (1991-2006)

This lovely compilation is a celebration of d-beat as a legitimate genre and as the ultimate referential cultural practice. There are 52 songs from 52 bands, all recorded between 1991 and 2006, arguably the golden era of unabated Discharge mimicry. “The Beat to End All Beats“ must be read as some sort of summarizing conclusion to the two series I wrote about d-beat on Terminal Sound Nuisance: “The Chronicles of Dis“ and, more recently, “Sonatas in D Major“. More details here: The tracklist can be found in the comments. Enjoy and form your own proper d-beat bands!
