Power in the Darkness

by Tom Robinson Band

Power in the Darkness cover art

Anchored by the groundbreaking gay rights anthem "Glad to Be Gay", the band's debut fuses blistering pub rock energy with uncompromisingly radical leftist politics. The record successfully channeled the sociopolitical anger of the British punk movement into highly articulate, fist-pumping rock and roll.
