The long-dormant group reunited a couple years ago, but this is the first sign of any recordings from them in over a decade.
Entitled 20 Years Strong, it’s essentially a revamped version of the quite out-of-print compilation The Last Call 1992 To 1996, which came out on Vulture Rock in the late ’90s. Additionally, it contains four unreleased songs, making this the first picture disc I actually want. Seriously — I usually hate these things, but this is the sort of record that seems to pop up, sell right the fuck out, and then you spend five years tracking down a copy.
Limited to 500 copies, the oi/ska group ought to have copies at the 2000 Tons of TNT festival in Hartford over Labor Day weekend. It’s not yet in the Randale shop, but keep your eyes glued. If you ever loved the Skoidats or Inspecter 7, this is for you.
