This was the first skinhead/Oi band I'd prolly ever heard. I discovered these guys when I lived in S.F. in around 1985. I met a dude at a hc show named Troy, he was from Oregon, but living in a room with Bones, and some other skinheads, who were high ranking SF skinheads. I hung out there for a few weeks with Troy(as I didn't really know anyone in the Bay area), watching the skins drink, beat one another up, while listening to AC/DC and the 4 Skins. They loved the idea of turning on an impressionable young metalhead to skinhead music. A few weeks later these guys moved out of the room on 603 fell street, and I moved in. Listening back to this album makes me think of those times.

This is an awesome LP, probably one of the first skin/oi bands I ever heard too. Id love to see some Menace on here!
ReplyDeleteHi, you got track 12 down as A.C.H.B. it is A.C.A.B. which means All Coppers Are Bastards. Which I have to say, after 25 years of dealing with them, most are.
ReplyDeleteLove the 4-Skins? Love the Cockney Rejects.
Your blog takes me back, thanks ;)

thanks for the post, great stuff. I had this album long ago as an antidote to overly PC hardcore.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the genre of this band?, because I read something about skinheads and rock music, so the cover of the album is red, yellow and green that's why I'm so confused.m10m
