Culture Shock is tagged as: drum and bass, punk, liquid funk, anarcho-punk, ska There are at least four bands/projects named Culture Shock: 1)Culture Shock were an anarcho-punk / punk-dub-ska band formed in Warminster, Wiltshire, UK, in 1986 by Dick Lucas, previously of the Subhumans. Their three LPs, “Go Wild”, “Onwards and Upwards” and “All The Time!”, were released on Bluurg Records. They also did 205 gigs between 86-89. Culture Shock mixed their punk roots with ska and reggae music to a previously unheard extent and influenced the styles of bands like AOS3, Radical Dance Faction, Back To The Planet, Bender, The AK 47’s, The Dicemen at a time when the free festival scene was under state attack following the cessation of the Stonehenge Festival; Culture Shock were one of a heap of bands playing as many festivals as possible, alongside their more regular gigs and this earned them a broard range of support. Dick’s lyrics were mostly concerned with social and political issues, from cruelty to animals, Northern Ireland, war, and social alienation, but were far from angry rants, often finding a positive and empowering perspective. Culture Shock split in 1989, as Bill and Nigel both had young families to support. Dick went on to form Citizen Fish with Jasper, the bassist for Culture Shock’s final album...
