This is a record of noted pedigree. Nottingham is one of the homes to god-tier hardcore punk. The scene there has evolved, revolved, mutated, and grown over the decades. It's DIY venues and recording studios are now of legend. The catalogue number of WSR084 is no coincidence. As with Crass and their "counting down to 1984" aesthetic, this is anarcho-hardcore railing hard against the times. If you're not currently furious you're asleep and Blind Eye are spitting anger. Taking inspiration from The Comes, Jerrys Kids, Aus-Rotten and Chaos UK, this album is a concise call to arms. Perfectly captured over a weekend towards the end of 2025 by Boulty at Stuck On A Name Studios, Mistrust Your Nation sees mid-tempo stompers mix with breakneck ragers, all pressed at 45rpm and sounding as hefty as the band playing in your front room. Anmarie Spaziano's vocal is at once melodic and raging, giving new definition to "pissed off." Steve Charlesworth's drums are second to none, they've never been equaled in over 40 years of doing this. Andrew Morgan's guitar on this record is wild: shredding equal parts cosmic noise and zzbrutally-tight riffing whilst Matt Grundy's bass anchors the chaos, pushing every second onwards.
