Bovver 96 rare tracks from 1997.

I uploaded these two tracks since they was never released on any of their albums. The songs are Piece of American Pie and Rest In Pain and was featured on Helen of Oi!'s compilation Punks, skins and herberts Vol.2 in 1997.
Rest in pain is about a crazy woman locked up in an asylum and how she got there.
Piece of American pie is about choosing not to fit in and not striving towards the same goals that others seem to do.

(Update April 7 2012: Uploaded the album again and added full coverart this time.)

New bassplayer and a little bit more relaxed Diedre. To bad both those things are negative. Jeff still plays bass on 4 of the tracks (the better ones).
I miss the raw and dirty sound from their old EP's and this is a good example that cleaner and produced songs often are negative when it comes to Oi!.
In no way is this a bad album, it contains my favourite track by the band called Hammer and brickwall and atleast 3 other superb songs but something is just of with many of the songs (Desnetisized to name one).
The band went their seperate ways after this release.

Bovver 96 - Knuckle girls 7'' (1997)

Tracklist:
01. Rage
02. 1408
03. Stuck in a rut
04. Knuckle girls

Second ep by the band and they are now as they proclaim themselfs "the band that putts the cunt back into country music".
Andrew adds some nice backing vocals on two of the tracks but besides from that its just Diedre shouting, this time even more pissed then before.
First (and the best) track is about Rage and the way that some get hooked on it like a drug. The best lyrics is found on 1408 where we can find Diedre laughing at the statement that skinheads stand united with the chorus "On the westcoast their fighting gang versus gang/on the eastcoast its fighting race versus race.Skinheads united HAHAHAHAHA".
The last track entitled Knuckle girls Diedre hands out punches to the ubermacho skinhead scene and makes it clear that she and her friends are more then some piece of ass.
Top girl, top band, ugly coverart.

Bovver 96 - Ghetto Oi! 7'' (1996)

Tracklist:
01. Ghetto Oi!
02. Remember the day
03. Clockwork chameleon
04. 96

Released by Steelcomb Records in 1996.

Classic Oi! band from Philadelphia that had a female vocalist. Where around in the glory days of Us Oi! in the mid 90's. The band consister of Jersey Diabla aka Diedre on vocals, Juston on bass, Andrew on guitar and Jeff on bass (left the group in 1998 and was replaced by Nick).
Some of the members later went on to form The breaker boys.

I dont usually like punkbands fronted by a female vocalist since most of them never produce that intense anger that a good vocalist needs (with some exceptions). Diedre on the other hand must have constant PMS and could even shout the shit out of Roger Mirret.
Best track is Ghetto Oi! that is a song to infiltrators in the scene and an anthem to all dirty skins that live the life instead of dressing up as if they did.
Even if its not the best they have released its a solid first release.
