Damn this is a great record!!!!!
A bit more melody on this record and hell of more Bruisers influences this time around. This is yet another punkalbum that i cant understand why it never broke through its underground fan-base. The "hitpotential" on songs like I know who my friends are and We'll still be here are the kind that makes you question what the fuck the musicindustry is shooting up its arms. Give those fuckfaces a shovel so they can digg up some truly great bands for a change.
Personal favourite is the scene oriented song Break it up.
If it is brutal and violent Oi! you are looking for you will probably not like this album but if you give it a chance you will probably find yourself singing along on a lot of the tracks.

Weekend bowlers - In over our heads 7'' (1999)

Tracklist:
01. Stick shift
02. What's it all about?
03. We've been had
04. Thin line

Released by Cyclone records in 1999.

Talk about having a missinformational bandname. A weekend bowler is someone that does something like an amateur without having a clue what he is doing and this band is deffinetly no weekend bowler.
Think a mix of the Ducky boys, The bruisers and Bonecrusher and you come close to what these guys sound like. One of the most dedicated vocalists i have even heard and a talanted band to back that up. I dont know much about this band and it really ticks me off since i want to know what happened to the members after the bands demise.

The 7'' come with a great foldout cover in hardpaper that contains all lyrics (nowdays most bands just throw the vinyl in there and writes the bandmembers on the sleeve).
Three first songs are the best and its all originality the whole record through (even if Stick shift reminds me of an old Blitz track at some points hehe)
If you have any info of the band please mail me or comment.

Weekend bowlers (introduction)

Great band from New York that was formed around 1998-1999 and was first featured with 2 tracks on Cyclone records compilation CD from 1999 called Pure Punk. Original members was Chris Keller on vocals, Chris Brown on drums, Sean Canada on lead guitar and Al Mead on bass. Later on Al startedplaying guitar for the band and Tom Keller started playing bass instead.
They where only around the scene for a short time but released a 7'' in 1999 and a full-lenght in 2001.
They went on and off and did some gigs here and there but i dont believe we can see any new record/reunion anytime soon.
