I loved this bands release from 2004 and gave it a heatofthemoment 9 out of 10 and listening to it again it might not be worth a 9 but it's a great album with many songs you shouldnt miss. This on the other hand is far from that release and even if it contains a lot of the tracks i liked from their later release the quality is utter garbage and it's even hard to hear that its the same band. Seems they released this album heard their iwn creation and released their true release a year later (probably why this one was so hard to get ahold of).
I can hear that the band has the same sense of humor as they had on their later album and songs like I hate you hits the spot even if they sound like shit but the album lacks the quality of their later works like In the gutter and Who's god.
Some reader sent me this like a year back but i have no memory of whom it might have been but thanks for the record anyway.

Released by Independent records in 2004.

Band from Cleveland, Ohio created back in 2000 by friends Vicks (guitar/vocals), Alex (bass/vocals) and Mark Rheaume. They released their first album in 2003 called Shamelessy bold scoundrels (wich is absolutely impossible to find now) and right after that Mark left the band. Without a drummer Vick turned to his coworker and brother fireman Rick to fill the spot (they have a song to all brother firemen called Brazen to the blaze on this record) and with this line-up they recorded this album. After some time Alex also left the band and joined together with old friend Mark Rheaume to start the metal band Deadiron. Brazen contributed with the track In the gutter to the 2006 compilation Backstreets of American Oi! Vol. 2 and did some re-union shows in 2007 but to my knowledge the band is not active today.

Another band that (to my happines) lacks the toughguy attitude and actually has a lot of humour in their songs. They are also not afraid to experiment with their sound going from straight Oi!core on some tracks to a more country feeling on other tracks. Even if a lot of tracks go a bit cliché like on the track March of the bootboys and some random Oi! shouting where it doesnt belong its far from generic. First half of the album is the best and This one's for you starts he album of on the right track with some classic skinhead rock'n'roll and continues well with the track Who's god? that is a dedication to Johnny Cash and anyone who has ever been into the man in black will hear wellknown lyrics melted into the song. The best tracks though are Patriot and In the gutter that are more of the classic Oi! songs and that also show of the main reason why i like this band mainly the drums. Other great tracks are Kill the white hats that i have no idea what its about (leave a comment if you do) and the track Circle pit that has a bit of a pop-feeling to it.


This is a great band that i think many people has missed so download it and let me know what you think of it.
