Boots on the Ground, by Gutter Knife

Boots on the Ground

by Gutter Knife

supported by

tall trees This is a great album, and I’m bummed because the vinyl is tricky to find at a doable price in the states at this point.

A nice blend of NYHC styled aggression and speed and UK Oi! melody and stomp. Lots of great stuff rolling out of the UK these days, and these cats are a wonderful addition to the crowd.

Cat Pünk Good NWOBHC band, very nice, abrasive release! Favorite track: Abuse of Power.

about

"The chalky white and golden brown of the rows and rows of houses, sodden from an eternity of days on the Brighton seaside. The disconnected punctuation of hobnail boots on wet tarmac. Hardcore punk, handed the UK82 marching orders and sent to the frontlines of the war 86 Mentality started, with Arms Race and Violent Reaction keeping the home fires burning. The same grey walls inside which you can redefine and rebuild. The NOW Wave of British Hardcore.

Wide and crooked vocals over riffs that move in and out of the speed and aggression of early HC and the inclination to get drunk and grab someone. Not quite a pogo, yet not quite a slam, with finer clobber and and the necessary swagger. Like a knife, but from the gutter."
Jonah Falco, Fucked Up/Career Suicide

I never dug single sided records because it seems a waste of vinyl but holy hell is this slab fucking worth it. 3 amazing songs that leave you wanting more. The female vox on the 3rd song add a lot to the whole package. So glad to have grabbed this, and looking forward to the physical copy of the next release. tall trees
