Released: 1979
Inflammable Material
The 1465th greatest album of all time
Inflammable Material is the 1979 debut album by Stiff Little Fingers, a Northern Irish punk band. The record pairs urgent, stripped-down punk rock with melodic hooks and direct, politically charged lyrics that respond to the Troubles, featuring abrasive guitar work, driving rhythms, and singalong choruses. Notable tracks include 'Suspect Device' and 'Alternative Ulster'. The album is regarded as an influential early UK punk statement for its combination of raw energy and topical songwriting.
