Lonewolf NYC - Demo (2012)

Tracklist:
01. Smash the ARA
02. P.H.S.
03. 211 skinheads
04. Sounding the death knell

Thanks to Jay for sending it.

New York band playing rough and pure Oi! that seemed to come out of nowhere last year. I dubbed them the best new band of 2012 so the fact that i like them is clear.

This band shares members with the classic eastcoast band Criminal Intent and their 211 compatriots in Klasse Dirigente. Sound? Think Oxblood mixed with On Trial and Battle Zone.

Even if i think that Texas seems to be the new growing ground for rocking Oi! these days i just love the the NYC scene and their way of holding firm to the spirit that used to exist in the whole US scene back in the early 90's. It might be violent and it might be a bit to rightwinged for many but it also seems to be one of the few places (except for OC) that can hold it's ground towards the PC facism that is spreading throughout most venues (and countries) these days. These guys are probably viewed as nazis by most of the new Antifa skins but with such a long tradition of confucing and pissing people of (First Strike, early Templars, Oxblood etc etc etc) i dont think most true skins in NYC are bothered with the lies being spread about this band or their scene as a whole. And whats really fun is that the NYC scene is probably one of the most multicultural skinhead-scenes out there today.....

Best songs on the demo is the 211 ganganthem and the song "Smash the ARA" that works perfectly as an introduction to what can happen if you try to dictate to those who refuse to walk in line.

I think we need a proper release by these boys or maybe a split with their friends in Offensive Weapon that seem to be more active now than ever.

Smash The ARA (studio practice)

Setting sons: New punkband from Sacramento

Nate from bands like Whiskey Rebels and Pressure Point has just started a new outfit more in the veins of streetpunk and mod-rock than Oi!. Good sound though. They are in the works of recording an album so check out their homepage or listen to some of their song at reverb.

This compilation is not in any way a compilation against any side right or left. Oi! in it's purest form IS political and the only way it can survive is if both sides of the coin can co-exist. With that said it is a compilation against political fractions trying to dictate whats right and wrong within the scene. They do this by boycotting shows organized by a promoter that might have been something at one point, they boycott distros that might sell a record by a group that might have a certain view that don't fit their world view. They have also started to brand certain bands that are non-political but refuse to conform to their ideals. Bullshit.

Oi! is nether red nore racist. It's the voice for those without one in the established society. Let's keep it that way. Stay political but keep the crusade for yourselfs (except for my crucade that is).

12. Agitated

Released by Welfare Records in 2010.

Far better than previous record in my oppinion and also some of the best artwork on a record of late.

Sure the record has it's low points just like any other hardcore album but with songs like Lies and K.B.D. they are easily overlooked. This record is anice example of how the NYHC sound can be done even in modern times and still stay relevant.
8/10

Fed Up! - Killed by dicks

New band: The Damn Garrison

Brand new band out of Dover/New Hampshire playing Oi! with a distinct US sound. Really like what i hear and since there (at the time) only song is completely un-mastered i can't wait to hear how they will sound after a proper visit to the studio. Hope to see a record or demo some time soon. Check them out at:
