RARE ORIGINAL UK RELEASE ON THE 'CHARLY' LABEL FROM 1978. 

The Exile were a four piece Scottish Punk band who formed in February 1977 by Graham Scott (v/gtr), Stan Workman (gtr), Robert Kirk (b/v) and Dougie Burns (d); they were one of Glasgow's first Punk bands. In their career they released two singles, plus they were featured on the Punk compilation album "Streets" released by Beggars Banquet label with a track called 'Disaster Movie'.

Their debut single "Don't Tax Me EP" was released on their own "Boring" label, the track 'Fascist D.J' on their debut release was actually about a local D.J called Tom Ferrie who actively hindered the Punk scene in Glasgow at the time! They shared the stage with Punk legends such as The Vibrators, The Lurkers, Johnny And The Self Abusers (who went onto to be the Simple Minds), The Jolt and other local Punk bands. Then in 1978 they signed to "Charly Records" and released a second single "The Real People".

In May of the same year, Robert Kirk quit the band and was replaced by Gavin Peterson. Gavin only stayed in the band until August of '78 and was then replaced by Paul Armour previously of the Cuban Heels. The band decided to call it a day in 1980. Out of the ashes a new band was formed called Friction who released a single called "World In Crisis" on their own Boring label.
