When I'm broadcasting the Just Some Punk Songs show and the regulars are commenting away in the chatroom, my mate Atti will often chirp up, "have you got any oi coming up Mick?" If he asks next Tuesday I'll be able to reply "Dirty Work are on soon mate, you'll enjoy them..."
From Toronto, Dirty Work are a trio that play working class street punk/oi and who will bring lots of pleasure to people like Atti. They line up with Zack (lead guitar/vocals), Mac (bass/backing vocals) and Sal (drums/vocals). They've just released their new album, it's titled In The West End and it's available from United Rebels (Canada) and Angry Young And Poor (USA)

Featuring 11 original compositions plus a blistering cover of The Strike's Gang Warfare it's definitely an album you'll want to check out. The band will be playing plenty of gigs in support of it, including US dates in 2019. You can get more info here : https://www.facebook.com/DirtyWorkofficial/
Here's a rowdy song you can singalong with, it's titled Hogtown Hooligans...
Everywhere i go, people scoff at where i live. They say its too fast, they say its shit. They tell me it stinks and they spit on the ground. But the only home I've ever known, is hogtown. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! You gotta fight to survive. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! Working 9 to 5. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! Your living to die. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! This city is mine. Its another delay on the subway line, another bloody night with man unkind, the bottom of a bottle that you find, hogtown youll always be mine. Wake up hungover but you still got work. And the suits on the train treat ya like your some kinda jerk. They say your tools are in the way, why do you even bother. Well ill choke you with your necktie you white collar fucker. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! You gotta fight to survive. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! This city will eat you alive. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! Your living to die. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! This city is mine. Its another delay on the subway line, another bloody night with man unkind, the bottom of a bottle that you find, hogtown youll always be mine. Friday night and its off to the bar, raise your glass this weeks been hard. Dont let them drag you underground. Cuz thats how it is in the streets of hogtown. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! You gotta fight to survive. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! City will eat you alive. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! Your living to die. Hogtown hooligan! Hogtown hooligan! This city is mine. Its another delay on the subway line, another bloody night with man unkind, the bottom of a bottle that you find, Hogtown you'll always be mine.
