NEW ARRIVALS
BOOTBOYS SOCIAL CLUB. Bez pravidel - CD
New skinhead band from the city of Brno in the Czech Republic. They play in that typical Czech style, like for example Operace Artaban, however with a bit more guitars, power and aggression. Great catchy songs.
BRONSON. s/t - CD
New Roman band who somewhat remind of The Timebombs who were from the same city. Bronson brings an excellent mix of punk and hardcore with a lot of melody and singalong choruses. A very American-influenced sound, extremely catchy. All songs are nothing but excellent, apart maybe from the weird short electronic intermezzo.
BRUTAL COMBAT. RAC legends vol.1 - LP
Not really a band that needs much of an introduction. Features an old remastered demo of the band with versions of the songs that were never be released on vinyl before. The sound quality is rather poor, the remastering could have been done a lot better. It's a collectible record of course, because of its limited edition of 300 numbered copies, but one can question the added value of releases like this....
CODE 1. Beat the burglar - 7" single
Fast and aggressive punk-fuelled Oi! which reminds immediately of early The Exploited, with the title track being a take on "Beat the bastards". Altogether it is pretty basic Oi/ punk, reminiscent of the early 80's. Limited edition of 500 copies: 150 red, 150 white & 200 black.
EMPIRE FALLS. Black helicopters - CD
Latest album of the South Carolina hatecore band. True old-school hardcore with non-PC lyrics, as always. Hard as nails, and once again a great album. Bryan and Empire Falls, keep on delivering the goods. Nice big booklet with lyrics and band photos.
HOOLIGAN UK. Kids with bats - CD
English skinhead band from the greater Liverpool area. Just like a few of the other new British bands they have an important punk-influence in their sound, mixed in with Oi! Some songs even have some dub parts. They got the right attitude and look, but musically it is definitely more punk than skinhread.
KEN MCLELLAN. H8 balls of fire - CD
Ken McLellan and the Long Riders, sees Ken McLellan going rock'n'roll / southern rock / country, and the result may be heard! The backing band here is Los Confederados from Italy. Some of the songs sound a lot like other southern rock, blues rock type songs he has already done. Others like for example "Moonshine" are pure country. The last track "R.A.C. is my business" is bound to become a favourite. This album is a pleasant surprise and features some real good rock. Comes with a big booklet with all lyrics and some humourous photos...
KOMAKOLONNE. Ode an den suff - CD
Newest release of Jens of Sturmwehr's side-project Komakolonne. As before, this fifth album is all about drinking and partying. Rock with a hefty singalong dosis and melody, not unlike Sturmwehr itself, but without the political lyrics then and drinking songs like only the Germans would do.
LEGION OF ST. GEORGE. Ad finem - CD
Sixth full-length of the London band, and it's been 5 years since "Last talons of the eagle". This new album is a continuation of their earlier output, with the same distinct vocals and the same musical style, which has made the band so popular. 15 excellent songs again, which were well worth the wait. The big booklet includes all lyrics and also a lot of band photos. A must have!
MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. Underground allegiance - CD
It's like 80s style hardcore punk meets abrasive Oi! These guys from Cadillac, Michigan, tell it like it is, no holding back. Fast, angry, raw, unpolished, spontaneous, truthful and non-PC.
MOTOSEGA. Veleno - CD
New band of Andrea of Italy's Porco 69. Hard rock mixed with skinhead rock, much in the style of Nativi who also happen to feature former Porco 69 members. It's quality as one has come to expect from the Italian RAC bands.
MURDERER'S ROW. Liberty denied - CD
Murderer's Row from Troy, NY, are back with their 6th album. North American thug rock, way less Oi! sounding than before, more heavy rock. Some songs sound like current Brutal Attack musically as well as what the singing is concerned, minus the political lyrics obviously. Others are faster, and more of a mixture of Oi!, punk and hardcore. It's all very powerful and mature sounding, not all that surprising with the musical track record of the band's members.
PARIAS. s/t - CD
French band with members of Frakass, and while Frakass has moved on to a harder metal sounding style, Parias is more traditional RAC rock, like the old Frakass, but lyrically also to the point.
T.M.F.. Fuck the system - 7" single
Brilliant new T.M.F. tracks, a teaser for the upcoming album.
THIS IS OI! ... not a fashion!. Compilation - CD
17 Oi! bands from ariund the worl giving it their best. Features Saints & Sinners (CZ), Uchitel Truda (RU), Bronco Army (BR), Keotik (ID), The Black Marias (UK), Scumheads Knigsberg (RU), Bristol Bulldogs (ES), Bleach Battalion (US), Moonstomp (ID), Broken Glasses (GR), The Skunx (CA), The Dilligafs (SF), Bootboys (CL), Breakout (ID), Shaved Heads (RU), Oldfashioned Ideas (SW) and Vindicate This! (SW). As always with compilations it features some good bands and some not so good, but overall the quality of the bands is decent enough and it's a good way of discovering some lesser-known bands.
UNBROKEN BROTHERHOOD. Compilation - CD
Hungarian & Polish RAC compilation featuring some well established bands from both countries and some newer bands. All quality material.
WARLORDS / TRUE GRIT. Oi! the split volume 1 - 7" EP
Split 7" between The Warlords from Los Angeles and True Grit from Toronto, both bringing traditional skinhead Oi! with their own twist. True Grit is the best band on here, having an original song that doesn't sound generic at all and which keeps you longing for more. Comes in a folding sleeve with lyrics and photos, a mp3 download card and a label sticker. Limited to 300 copies.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The PayPal and Credit Card options in the shop no longer work. If you want to pay with either of these 2 options, just choose the "cash payment" option and then put your choice in the freetext field. Or better still, for people within the Eurozone, pay per bank transfer, it should be free and thus there's no money going to the big corporations.
