What’s up Sorry Skaters?
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but water is good for you and it makes your body happy. My nephew is only 27, and he recently got a kidney stone because he never drinks water. I’m sure there were also other contributing factors, but it definitely wouldn’t have happened if he was drinking water. Speaking of making your body happy, this record doesn’t fall short. I’m going with Who Are They Trying to Con by the Scotland-born A.O.A. I’m a sucker for angry Scottish vocals and without that element in this band I probably wouldn’t be as interested. It’s like if Oi Polloi leaned more towards Discharge guitar riffs and backed it with relentless driving drums and gang vocals. No wonder the two Scottish bands, Oi Polloi and A.O.A, did a split together in 1986.
I remember having a conversation with a regular dude about this band years ago at a bar. He asked “why the hell does a punk band have a peace sign on the cover?!” Me and one of my new friends began to explain the anarcho peace punk era/scene in the UK and where the “WAR BAD” platitude comes from. It still amazes me how many people do not have even the slightest amount of knowledge of even this country’s most recent history. Anyways, this dude ended up being someone that did not merit the time to explain such things. “Screw you, I’m gonna go blast Antisect in my car.”
I’m keeping it short and pissed this week. Thanks for reading everybody and we’ll see y’all next week!
