Damn i got the same problem with this one...don´t understand any word. The only thing i know is that this guys can play.  14 songs in just about a half an hour, catchy fast and full of great refrains. Another good point, they just play skinheadmusic without any red banner shit like many new bands from italy.

Google translator helps a little bit so i think most of the songs are about the scene, drinking and just having a good time. Vaffancule and also Coglione which means lick my ass and asshole is a statement, these guys chose the direct way to make a stand against their enemies. "Torno a casa" leaves a little bit of western feeling in my heart....maybe i should watch The Good, The Bad and The Ugly again.  My favorite song is "Non Passa Mai", full of passion, melody and a great ska part.

Brutti E Ignoranti is the faint hope that italy is not that left-flooded like i felt in the last years. So come on skinheads from Rome,Milan, Torino and so on, fuck off politics and get back to your roots. The album was released on Rebellion Records(DigipackCD and LP)

Maraboots - Dans La Nuit(2013) - Review

Tracklist:

1. Dans La Nuit (3:56)
2. Heros De La Oi (3:29)
3. Ton Choix (4:54)
4. Soldat Perdu (2:28)
5. Plus Rien (3:09)
6. Shlag Station (4:06)

Maybe i should go to school again or make a french course as well...Maraboots is such a great band, but i don´t understand what they are singing about. First time i heard of them, was on the split with the german legends Stomper 98. And their sound really compares with them, especially the saxophone parts.

My favorite song? Everyone(ok if you really wanna know...Heros de la Oi is outstanding). Songs i don´t like? No one. Maraboots is beyond any doubt the best french Oi-Band in the last 10 years. Hope to hear from them again and again and again.....

Very short review, but it´s easier to write more about bad releases than good ones. "Dans La Nuit" is a must have Vinyl! Nothing more to say

Bronco Army - Young Warriors EP(2012) - Review

Tracklist:

A1 - Young Warriors
A2 - Are You With Us
B1 - Anthems Of The Streets
B2 - The Shape Of Things To Come

Templars,45 Adapters and Sydney Ducks, these are the bands i was thinking of, when i started with this EP.
Bronco Army comes directly from the streets of Sao Paulo, and their sound is really rough and low-fi.

The first song is about becoming a skinhead, with some female vocals in the background.  "Are you with us" is an announcement to the whole scene, take it serious or get the fuck out of it. The B-Side starts with a song about the music THEY!!! love(come on guys...Kill Baby Kill...i hope Dieter burns in hell). The last one is a cover from the 1968 movie "Wild In The Streets" which i´ve never heard of before.

Sry guys but this one is not my cup of tea. Don´t like the sound and the Kill Baby Kill thing...EP was released on Stratum Records.
