Troops of Tomorrow is the second album by the punk rock band The Exploited, released in 1982 through Secret Records.
Allmusic called the album a classic of the hardcore punk genre and a landmark British punk rock album. The album's sound influenced bands such as Discharge, Agnostic Front and Stormtroopers of Death. A medley of "War", "Disorder" and "UK 82", covered by Slayer and Ice-T is featured in the soundtrack for the 1993 film Judgement Night. The chorus of "UK 82" was changed to "LA 92" to reflect the 1992 Los Angeles riots. "UK 82" was also used as the opening and closing track to the 1983 film Made in Britain, starring Tim Roth.
The video for the song "U.S.A." starts off with an intro saying "And so... a Pandora's box of rejection and reaction was opened. Today, thousands carry on the greatest anti-movement of our age. Punk rock, the end of our dreams..." (UK/DK: A Film About Punks and Skinheads, 1983). After the intro, the band performs on a stage with Gary McCormack playing the bass guitar, Big John Duncan playing the electric guitar and Danny Heatley playing the drums. There are also occasionally clips of the band walking down the street in Scotland and are having a little fun and one where they walk in a building. An interview appears after the song ends.
All songs written by Wattie Buchan and Big John Duncan, except where noted.
