I saw these guys recently. I liked it better when it was called Dropkick Murphy's. What a terrible band.

Dropkick Murphys = Irish/celtic punk band.
Darkbuster = street punk band who also write great ska songs.

that's Amy Griffin. She also played guitar and sang some in Avoid One Thing, another great Boston punk band.

The timing of the video is really weird. The cuts don't seem to be based on the beat of the song at all.

Don't know what this song is about..........but I just thought I'd chime in- skinheads suck.....just a bunch of cops without badges.

Just because your beaten by both doesn't mean they're similar.

Skinheads.....racist or not......are just another gang. Another knuckleheaded group of people that refuse to use their brains. Patriotism, nationalism.....it's all the same to me.

Same goes for punks in my opinion. Anyone with half a brain walks the middle path dispite their fashion sense. Hence, 'Skinhead you're a lot like me'. It's a declaration of solidarity with the middle path. As someone who's seen everything the Boston scene has to offer since the early 80's I can tell you that Darkbuster is on the right path.

Just remember, skinhead gave us Hammerskins, but Hardcore gave us FSU. Time to grow up son.

anything with "skinhead" in the title is guaranteed to be wack.

how utterly laughable.

that goes for "oi" music too- what horrible craphole was that born in?

I saw Darkbuster at the WBCN River Rave when they won the battle of the bands. It was 2000 or 2001 I think-before they broke up and reformed. Awesome set-first band I ever saw live.

Blah. Every song about skinheads is, like, "zOMG SKINHEDS R AWSUM OI OI OI WORKING CLASS BOOTS AND BRACES OI OI." If punk bands lacked this much creativity, we'd all be the Casualties. Ew.
