Widely considered to be Conflict's shining moment, 1984's Increase the Pressure finds the U.K. punk act railing against the status quo with an admirable fury. While the group's minimal, hard-charging sound is key to it's aesthetic, it's sociopolitical messages, shouted out by vocalist Colin Jerwood, are clearly just as important, as revealed on the rabble-rousing title track and the anti-Thatcher tune "As Others See Us." For an effective dose of mid-80's anarchist punk, it doesn't get much more intense than Increase the Pressure.
