An 18 track compilation featuring the best of Croydon's punk and post punk scene 1977-1985! "Are They Hostile?" Is a new documentary film about the Punk, New Wave and Indie scene in Croydon in the late '70s and early '80s. It takes its name from the first single by Croydon band BAD ACTORS. To coincide with the film's release Damaged Goods Records are releasing a compilation vinyl LP featuring bands from in the film including JOHNNY MOPED, THE MARINES, THE DALEKS, CASE, FANATICS and also bands such as THE STRAPS who played Croydon many times usually at The Star Pub in West Croydon. It's been argued that Croydon was the birthplace of Punk in the UK, largely due to THE DAMNED and JOHNNY MOPED. But there was a group of other, less well-known bands who were part of that scene, or who came just after, but who didn't achieve the same success or recognition. The film and album attempt to set the record straight by shining a light on bands such as BAD ACTORS, CASE, THE DALEKS, THE HEROES and FANATICS.
