This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''The Partisans''' are a Welsh [[punk rock]] band formed in [[Bridgend]], South Wales, in early 1978, when all four members were in their early teens. They continued until 1984, having several hits on the [[UK Indie Chart]]. The band re-formed in the late 1990s.

==History==
The band formed in early 1978, with an original line-up of Phil Stanton (vocals), Rob "Spike" Harrington (guitar and vocals), Andy Lealand (guitar), Mark "Shark" Harris (drums), and Mark "Savage" Parsons (bass guitar).<ref name="Glasper">((cite book |last=Glasper |first=Ian |title= Burning Britain: The History of Punk 1980-1984 |year=2004 |publisher=Cherry Red Books |isbn=1-901447-24-3 ))</ref> Parsons and Stanton left in 1979, with Harrington moving to lead vocals, and Lealand's girlfriend Louise Wright joining on bass.<ref name="Glasper" />

Influenced by [[Sex Pistols]], [[The Clash]], and [[The Ramones]], the band started off covering punk rock hits and soon started to compose their own material. They were the second band signed to Chris Berry's No Future Records label, and their debut release, the double A-sided "Police Story" / "Killing Machine" was released on 28 September 1981. It reached No. 5 on the [[UK Indie Chart]], on the back of a tour with label-mates [[Blitz (British band)|Blitz]], and with strong support from ''[[Sounds (magazine)|Sounds]]'' writer [[Garry Bushell]].<ref name="Glasper" /> Following the success of this single, The Partisans were included on the third volume of Bushell's [[Oi!]] compilation series ''Carry On Oi!'', which reached No. 60 on the [[UK Albums Chart]],<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/search/albums/carry-on-oi/|title=carry on oi &#124; full Official Chart History &#124; Official Charts Company|website=Officialcharts.com|access-date=2020-06-11))</ref> and won the band gig slots with Blitz, [[Peter and the Test Tube Babies]] and [[The Ejected]], as well as a 'No Future' night at [[London, England|London]]'s Zig Zag Club with Red Alert, The Lombardos, and Peter and the Test Tube Babies.

The band released its second single, "17 Years of Hell", on 27 May 1982, peaking at No. 2 on the Indie Chart.<ref name="Lazell">((cite book |last=Lazell |first=Barry |title=Indie Hits 1980-1999 |year= 1997 |publisher=Cherry Red Books |isbn=0-9517206-9-4 ))</ref> This was followed by their self-titled debut LP, released in February 1983. It hit No. 5 in the Indie Chart and No. 1 in the Punk Chart,((Which|date=June 2020)) amid considerable critical acclaim from the national press and the underground fanzine culture.((citation needed|date=June 2020))

After the departure of Louise Wright, the remaining members relocated to [[Bayswater]] in west [[London]], with new bassist Dave Parsons to relaunch the band. Their next release was the three-track ''Blind Ambition'' EP on Cloak & Dagger Records, which peaked at No. 23 on the Indie Chart, and got played on [[BBC Radio 1]]. The LP, ''Time Was Right'', followed in 1984, described as "[[The Professionals (band)|The Professionals]] meets [[The Clash]]," and reaching No. 20 in the Indie Chart. The album featured live recordings from a gig at the Brixton Ace, at which The Partisans supported [[Anthrax (UK band)|Anthrax]], [[Lost Cherrees]], [[Conflict (band)|Conflict]] and others.

The band split up in 1984. [[Dave Parsons]] later found chart success with [[Transvision Vamp]] and, even later, having global success with [[Bush (British band)|Bush]]. Lealand moved to [[Scandinavia]]. He and Harrington recorded one more session in late 1989 for Link Records under the name Agent Orange including Lealand's then partner Iggi.<ref name="Glasper" /> In the late 1990s, Lealand and Harrington reformed the band along with two of Lealand's Swedish friends, Magnus Neundorff and Mikael "Gustav" Gustavsson. The band signed to [[United States|American]] label TKO who issued the "So Neat" single in 2001, followed by a new album in 2004, ''Idiot Nation'' on Dr. Strange.<ref name="Glasper" />

In 2006, the band toured the UK with fellow Welsh hardcore punk band [[Picture Frame Seduction]] and played the Berlin festival Punk n' Disorderly in 2007.  No further plans are being made to play live, although on 27 November 2015 they opened for Italian glam rock band, Giuda, at Orion, a rock venue in [[Ciampino]], a small town near [[Rome]].
