Anti-Pasti

British punk rock band

Anti-Pasti was a British punk band that formed in Derby, England, in 1978. The group was part of the UK's early 1980s punk scene and became known for their energetic live performances and politically charged lyrics. They released their debut album, "The Last Call," in 1981, which helped to cement their place within the punk movement. The band's lineup included Martin Roper as the lead vocalist, Dugi Bell on guitar, Stu Winfield on bass, and Stan Smith on drums. Anti-Pasti achieved significant success within the punk community but disbanded in 1983 after releasing a few singles and two studio albums. They briefly reunited in the mid-1990s and again in the 2010s, playing shows and festivals to a new generation of punk fans. "The Punk Singles Collection" is a compilation that features their work from 1980 to 1983, showcasing some of the band's most influential tracks.
