Shit or Bust are a new streetpunk band from Magdeburg, Germany, other than that I don’t have any other details about the band. What I can tell you is that they play catchy as hell working class skinhead rock ‘n’ roll and have just recently released their debut E.P which is available to download on their Bandcamp page.
This band definitely has a knack for writing melodic streetpunk at it’s very best and the 5 tracks on ‘The Working Class…But Working Sucks!’ really are great songs that I guarantee will be stuck in your head for days on end. The E.P get off to a great start with the title track, a cracking song that we will all relatable which is played at relatively fast paced, has a great bass line and a brilliant sing-along chorus.
After a great start the band deliver anthems like ‘Your Boots’, ‘See You at the Bar’ and ‘We Call It…’ that are all brilliant songs that I’ve been singing-along to at the top of my voice. Listening to this E.P reminds we that we urgently need a return to live music because these songs live would sound amazing. ‘All or Nothing’ closes this excellent debut, a melodic song with a killer chorus and is easily my favourite track.
Following on from last year’s ‘Through Our Veins’, a split E.P with Spider Crew Italian street core band No Restraints have now teamed up with Day Drinker for another excellent slab of wax in ‘Same Streets. Both bands give us 2 tracks each on this fine E.P that is available through German label Sunny Bastards Records and highlights that the subculture that we love is in good shape and these bands are delivering cracking anthems with every release.
No Restraints are first up with the outstanding new track ‘Our Warzone’, as with the two tracks on ‘Through Our Veins’ the band bring a mix of Oi! and hardcore which results in an angry skinhead sound that I absolutely love. For their second track the band have decided to take on The Bruisers ‘Borrowed Time’ which they have done a great job but if I were being picky, I would have like to have another original, but this is still a great song, nonetheless.
Day Drinker are a half Dutch and half Belgian working-class punk band that mix melodic street punk like Cock Sparrer and Argy Bargy with 90’s punk rock like Bad Religion and The Bouncing Souls with fantastic results. Last year the band released a 5-track demo on the Bandcamp page in which ‘Dying Breed’ first appeared, a great melodic sing-along anthem. Their second song ‘Disintegrating Nation’ is a cracking, well-written track with lyrics that are brilliantly delivered by Ronny, a fine end to a brilliant E.P.
‘Same Streets’ deserves a place in your collection which includes brilliant tracks from 2 bands that have in bright future in the scene. So grab a beer, play loud and enjoy!

Ola and some more news for today. The guys from Constrained-Official are now new in our radio family. It’s great that we were able to sign the guys from Belgium. What can you expect?

You still miss him, as a friend and as a musician, but he is respectfully replaced by Kenny on bass, who will play the old songs in his own style.

Parpaing are a Parisian Oi! band that I came across while looking on Bandcamp. To be honest, I don’t know an awful lot about them other than they are a 5-piece of Tonio (vocals), Leslie (guitar), Kev (guitar), Junior (bass) and Skampi (drums) play raw sounding Oi! that sounds like it has come straight out of the 1980’s. The band have recently released this 6-track demo which is available as a free download on their Bandcamp page.
As I don’t speak French, so I can’t comment on the lyrics but musically the band have a no-nonsense approach by playing simple and fast songs with vocals that are snarled over the top, and I like it. The 6 tracks of ‘Parpaing’, Naphtaline’, ‘Embuscade’, ‘Poppers Skin’, ‘Jeunes’ and Tout Seul’ are all great sounding songs that are a great introduction to the band, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for their future releases.
If you like raw 1980’s style Oi! this band are well worth checking out and it’s free so there is nothing to lose.

Brooklyn’s finest the 45 Adapters are back! The band are just about to release their stunning new E.P ‘Now or Never’ which has been much anticipated since the title track appeared on last years Pirates Press compilation ‘For Family and Flag’. The first thing you will be impressed with is the appearance of the record which is a clear vinyl that has been digitally printed on that looks like it been printed on glass. The record may look amazing but it’s the music that really stands out as the band pack a punch with 6 killer anthems which adds to their impressive back catalogue.
If you are familiar with the band you will know that they mix rock ‘n’ roll, ska, pub rock and punk with Oi! to make catchy and danceable music and the songs on ‘Now or Never’ are no different. This really is a great record, and the title track sets the tone for the rest of the record. ‘Now or Never’ is a brilliant rock ‘n’ roll song with great riffs, excellent lyrics and brilliant to sing-along to.
I love the raucous, energetic sound that this band create but they do this while remaining melodic and catchy and the rest of the E.P are great examples of this sound. ‘Friendship’, ‘Ready Blood’, ‘Shabby’ and ‘Broken Men’ are all fantastic songs, but it’s ‘Let’s Play’, a cracking pub rock track with a hint of glam that’s the pick of the bunch for me.
The 45 Adapters have produced yet again so there is nothing else to say apart from lace up your boots, grab a beer and get dancing!
Working-class street punks Antagonizers ATL are about to unleash ‘Kings’, their unbelievably good second album. It may be 5 years on from their debut, but the band haven’t been twiddling their thumbs as they have added a 6th member and have taken the time to master their sound to produce 31 minutes of top-class street punk over 10 brilliantly written tracks. I have given this album several listens since it dropped into my inbox which gets better with every listen and I have to say that the wait has been well worth it.
Antagonizers ATL are masters of playing incredibly catchy sing-along anthems and ‘Kings’ is no exception as they deliver earworm after earworm which makes for one hell of a listen. The band mean business from the off with opener ‘Worries’, a well-written slab of dirty rock ‘n’ roll and they already have me hooked. After a great start, the band continue to deliver excellent in your face street punk with ‘Black Clouds’ and ‘Trouble’ before the incredible title track. This is a sing-along anthem about the unity in the punk community and is probably my favourite song on the album.
For me, ‘Kings’ is a great album for these troubled times which covers the positive themes of strength, pride and togetherness throughout and ‘No Rest For The Wicked’, ‘Believe’, ‘Marching On’ and ‘Us Against The World’ are examples of this. Another highlight on this exceptional album is ‘Hold On Hold Strong’, a catchy gem of a song with great riffs and brilliant chorus and also has guest vocals by Monty Neysmith of Symarip.
All in all, ‘Kings’ is an impressive album from start to finish and if you’re fans of melodic sing-along street punk this album is a must. Do yourselves a favour, get yourself a copy, grab a beer, play it loud and sing your heart. That’s what I’ll be doing for some time to come.
