knucklehead american hardcore -vs- knucklehead british punk

just read that one of Partisans went on to be in Transvision Vamp and Bush. Oi Oi Oi!

i actually really like the weird blitz album from 1989. i don't think too many people dug it...

i love the new wave-y angelic upstarts album too. still from the heart. i know they were just going for an eclectic clash vibe with the dub stuff, but i like the upstarts more than the clash so i'm good.

I like Boston Strangler's album, 'Primative.' I think it's 2012.

I fucking love that Cock Sparrer song. I've probably put that on at least 15 mixes in my life. It's so good.

I do, but only on CD, Captain Oi! reissue. They only had one that actually matters - Roi has put together a few line-ups since then and done a couple of albums, I've heard the one from '89 where they were just called The Resort, and it was awful. Well, IMO I guess, it was actually kinda not that far away from the 3rd Blitz album, just sounded like plodding mid-tempo rock with everything I like about Oi! music taken out.

ooh i've got that Partisans single, bought cos a) they were Welsh b) comedy punx overly-studded leather jackets on cover c) cost 50p

I think I paid about £4 for mine! I knew about Bush and Transvision Vamp but hey if I started disliking musicians for their later careers I'd have to throw out 3/4 of my collection.

I never liked that song, even though I know it's not a racist song and have defended it to people who say it is, any kind of English nationalism just skeeves me out. Riot Squad is my fave song on that album.

the lyrics to EBTM make almost no actual sense. well the individual lines do but there's hardly any connection from line to line. song rules tho

This is a bit of an underrated Blitz IMO:
