Description

Danger Signs is one of the defining releases by British punk pioneers Penetration and a standout single from the first wave of UK punk.

Released in 1979, the 12-inch edition expands on the original 7-inch with two exclusive live recordings, capturing the raw energy that made the band one of the most exciting acts to emerge from the late-1970s punk scene. Fronted by the charismatic Pauline Murray, Penetration combined punk urgency with melodic songwriting, helping to shape the post-punk movement that followed.
