Major Accident

UK Punk Rock Band

Major Accident is a UK punk band that was formed in the late 1970s in Darlington, England. The band is known for its distinctive Oi! sound, which is a subgenre of punk rock that combines aggressive lyrics and melodies with working-class ethos. Major Accident developed a loyal following with their charged live performances and a visual style that often included Clockwork Orange-inspired imagery. Their albums "Massacred Melodies" (1982) and "A Clockwork Legion" (1984) are notable contributions to the Oi! movement, showcasing their ability to blend catchy tunes with punk's raw energy. "Clockwork Heroes" is a compilation album that features some of the band's most popular songs. Throughout their career, Major Accident has undergone several lineup changes and periods of inactivity, but they have maintained a presence in the punk scene and continue to influence new generations of punk bands.
