Background notes
Archive material and source history
Combat 84 formed in 1982, taking their name from a suggestion by vocalist Steve Mercado. Their sound pulled from punk and hardcore, with Mercado's lyrics often addressing political themes. The song '1982' became something of an anthem for the era's disaffected youth.
They released a handful of albums, including their self-titled debut in 1982 and 'Hard Times' in 1987. Their outspoken stance and the raw energy of their live shows sometimes led to canceled dates and friction with venues. The band's catalog includes tracks like 'Barry Prudom' and 'Getting The Fear'.
