The latest reviews:


The Bruisers - Independence Day

Rebellion Records - LP -


1333_the_bruisers.jpgFirst album from The Bruisers is released in 1990 on tape, then in 2012 on Rock´n´Roll Disgrace on LP and now also on LP but on Rebellion Records (375 black, 375 silver and 375 black with silver splatters and patch). Album contains seven songs (including cover Nations on Fire from Blitz) but this version contains also four bonus songs - Bloodshead and Society´s Fools from EP Intimidation (but in previously unpublished version) and different versions of Eyes of Fire and Never Fall. The Bruisers is one of the basic bands of American Oi! Scene and you surely know that it is the first band of Ala Barr (Dropkick Murphys). Title indicates the fall of Berlin wall because Al has German descent from mother side and they are living in Berlin in 74 and 75. Song titles are Never Fall, My Pride, 21 Years, Nations on Fire, We Will Survive, Independence Day and Eyes of Fire. Line up on this LP is five pieces. Album is perfect especially songs like Never Fall and Independence Day. Inside is paper with lyrics (except the bonus tracks) and many photos plus few words from Al. This is absolutely classic record and I will not rate it because it is “just” re-release of one of the basic records of US of Oi!

Tigre - Nella tana delle tigri

Flamingo Records - EP -


1332_tigre.jpgTigre comes from Italian province Liguria (Genoa) and this is their second EP which is released on tape. First EP is called Contro Tigre and it was released on US label LSM Records, second Infrangete la legge (Break the Law) was out just on the web and this one (In the Tigers´ Den) is out on Flamingo Records. On cassete are four songs (total playing time is around about 10 minutes) - Insieme (Together), Dritto al lavoro (Right to Work), I ragazzi sono ragazzi (Boys will be Boys) and NSNM. Musically it is faster streetpunk with more shouted vocals (with the helping vocals from their friends from bands Stiglitz and Flagello) – the band calls their sound turbo Oi!. Nice singalong is in the first song (refrain of Insieme) where all the vocalists are si nging together. Dritto al lavoro is little bit faster than the first one, I ragazzi sono ragazzi has great guitar at the beginning which sounds like from Oxymoron and it has nice refrain. The last one is the slowest and its sound is the saddest (mainly the last part). Music is quite fast and happy (except the last piece) but the lyrics are not so funny – unemployment, lost of hope, wild youth and the will not to give up and bend. I don´t know anything about the booklet because I saw just outside. Check them on https://tigreoi.bandcamp.com/album/nella-tana-delle-tigri.
