Pennsylvania oi! band Mob Mentality featured on here earlier this year with a track from their impressive debut ep No Honour, No Guts, No Glory (name your price for that ep here : https://mobmentalityoi.bandcamp.com/album/no-honor-no-guts-no-glory-e-p). Lining up with Hooligan 77 frontman Dan Hooligan on vocals, Skip (guitar), J.B. (guitar), Vince (bass) and Conor (drums), they haven't let the grass grow under their boots. Their debut album, 14 tracks of what will undoubtedly be top notch street anthems, is in the can and ready to be unleashed on an ever expanding audience who are currently being treated to a golden era of new oi music.

One thing I have noticed about the oi! scene is that it's got very political. There seems to be plenty of left wing vs right wing confrontations taking place. Unfortunately there also seem to be far too many bands that aren't interested in the political infighting that are getting dragged into it either because they are apolitical or because they may have once shared a stage with a band that someone considers (rightly or wrongly) to be ideologically suspect. Mob Mentality's first release from the album is a timely call to stand together, to break the barriers and to return to the days when the oi movement shared a beating heart. Topical and with a great sing a long chorus, I'm salivating at the prospect of the full length.
This is Carry On Tradition....
