(Updated 27 April: Uploaded the record again.)
Lyricaly this is one of the greatest American punkrecords i know. It talks about the workingmans struggle (Our freedom), powerhungry politicians (Executive privilege & Eye of the needle), racist cops (Business as usual), Vietnam vets (Fought the good fight).
But the one track that stands out the most is Bandera. A song about Stepan Bandera the political leader of the Ukraine Nationalist party during WWII. A man that would not back down from a fight and fought both Germany and Russia for a independent Ukraine state.
"Caught in the crunch, the flame of life burns low/You fought for your nation, you fought from the soul/Freedom from oppression, these were your goals/Death to tyrants, both right and left, Let all people know/You fought the Reds, you fought the Nazi scum/For Nazis and Communist/ Mercy, you had none"
Even though the singer sounds like he is falling asleep on some tracks this is pure old school Oi! of the american style and a must have for anyone already addicted.

SvaraRaderaUkrainsk politik är inget en sansad människa försöker välja sida i.
Han var en fascist som på nåt vis blev osams med tyskarna efter att ha utrotat judar mm åt dem.
hehe Ukrainsk politik är det nya svart
SvaraRaderaA highly underrated oi band from the USA
SvaraRaderaFinns en singel också, som är lite äldre 96/97. Är inte plattan från 97 för den delen.
SvaraRaderaSläpptes i slutet av 1997 början av 1998. Exakt när har jag aldrig blivit klok på.
RaderaMenar du den här singeln http://usofoiofsweden.blogspot.se/2009/08/first-strike-first-strike-ep-1997.html
Korrekt, rätt singel. Och så har de någon/några låtar (Cockney Rejects Police Car) på någon samling, (Finns någonstans här i röran, men jag hittar den inte just nu.)
