Stiff Little Fingers – Nobody’s Heroes

Released in 1980, Nobody’s Heroes is the second album by Stiff Little Fingers, transitioning from the raw punk of their debut toward a more polished sound influenced by reggae and ska. It remains a definitive political statement of the era, featuring anthems like “Tin Soldiers” and “At the Edge” that tackle themes of forced patriotism and individual defiance.
