Gutter Knife - Boots on the Ground



  Gutter Knife are from Brighton and have just released a raucous new 12" titled Boots On The Ground. It's a hardcore banger with elements of oi mixed in that'll appeal to fans of both genres. I often post these borderline oi releases to the Church Of Oi! Facebook group to gauge their reaction and my mate Baldy invariably replies with either "good authentic gritty oi music done with their own unique twist" or "that's too poppy, sounds like Simple Plan after they listened to a few Pennywise albums!" When he hears Boots On The Ground I'm confident he'll be impressed.

  The line up of the band is Luke Austin (vocals), Ethan Stahl (guitar), Luca Selvaggio (guitar), Sam Rack (bass) and Ted Foster (drums).

  There's 8 tracks on the album, Jonah Falco (Fucked Up/Career Suicide) compares it to the likes of Arms Race and Violent Reaction, I can hear bits of Crown Court in there too. Hardcore music that's accessible to those of us that like a good tune You can check it out here :  https://qualitycontrolhq.bandcamp.com/album/boots-on-the-ground

  "You've had your day, we're here to stay"  This is the title track, Boots On The Ground...
