The Ungovernable Force Explained
The Ungovernable Force is an album by the British punk rock band Conflict.[2] It was released in 1986 by Mortarhate Records and reached number 2 in the UK Independent album charts.[3] [4]
Considered by many in the punk rock community to be the band's most coherent and complete representation of their politics and aesthetic, it has become an enduring classic in anarchist punk music culture. A review for Louder Than War in 2021 described The Ungovernable Force as "still one of the best punk rock albums of all time".[5]
