The Exploited is a punk rock band from the second wave of UK punk, formed in late 1979 or early 1980.
They started out as an Oi!/punk rock band, before mutating into a faster streetpunk and hardcore punk band, and — from about 1987 on (around the time of Death Before Dishonour) — into a crossover thrash band. Formed in Edinburgh by ex-soldier Wattie Buchan, they signed to Secret Records in March 1981 and released their debut EP Army Life. The influential album Punks Not Dead followed in the same year. Despite many lineup changes, the band continued into the 2000s and has developed a worldwide following.
