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 its aesthetic, its 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-'80s anarchist punk, it doesn't get much more intense than "Increase the pressure"
