Imagine a swift kick in the teeth, and then think about it happening thirteen more times in a row, that is how I felt listening to this record and I only came back asking for more. This is the band that is going to save punk from being and becoming just another marketing trend This is punk rock the way it should be played, with speed, aggression, intelligence, and heart. The GC5 play a street punk/Oi type music, but they do it the right way without allowing their music to become redundant and boring with lyrics that are nothing more than a thuggish right wing babbling. Imagine early Rancid, the Swinging Utters, Social Distortion, and the non-Irish parts of Dropkick Murphys mixed together and singing songs of social and political discontent, working class pride, leftist politics, and antiestablishment outrage with the drive and urgency that I haven't heard since the hey days of punk.

god damm i want this record great band, really escapes the stifling redundancy of the oi/street punk scene. that album is really good, i was really surprised by it, check it out. and if you want to read a german review of it go to purerock.de, it should be online very soon ;-). I'd agree...this is a kick ass album...Not quite as good as their album "Kisses From Hanoi", but still a very good album that makes constant play More punk than you? Haha, great review. GC5 rule. |
