Chron Gen initially comprised former members of The Condemned and Optional Xtras. Band members included Glynn (Baxter) Barber (vocals/guitarist), Jon 'JJ' Johnson (drummer), Adam Warwicker (bass guitar), and Jon Thurlow (rhythm guitar), with Pete Dimmock replacing Warwicker after the band recorded their first demo.
The band released their debut EP Puppets of War in 1981 on their own Gargoyle label; It spent almost ten months in the UK Independent Chart, peaking at number 4.
With the success of the EP, Chron Gen were invited to join The Exploited, Discharge, Anti-Pasti, and The Anti-Nowhere League on the now infamous Apocalypse tour in the UK in the summer of 1981.
They released a single on the Step Forward label before moving to Secret Records, who issued the band's debut album, Chronic Generation, in March 1982
Hertfordshire punks' 1982 debut album, itself one of the most brilliantly brittle concoctions in the entire Oi! canon. Chron Gen had already been around for two years by the time they cut the LP, a legacy that is encapsulated
But, then again, were they meant to? More than any other of punk's offspring, Oi! was music-for-the-moment, blind rage kicking out at the things that enraged it at the time.
There was no thought for history, no attempt to stash something away for the future -- hell, most bands weren't even sure there would be a future, let alone one that would still be listening to 20-year-old punk rock.
So accept Chronic Generation for what it was meant to be -- the long-awaited debut by one of the movement's mightiest noise-makers, and it won't disappoint.
But if it does, the two covers will certainly raise a smile -- "Jet Boy Jet Girl" amped to rocket-propulsion proportions, and "Living Next Door to Alice," performed in such a way that you'll have no problem understanding why Alice had to move house..
