It's been a while since we heard from Plymouth oi! band Hostile Minds (https://www.facebook.com/hostilemindsoi/). They featured on Rebellion Records' Oi! Ain't Dead 6 comp alongside a number of other top genre acts (Crown Court, B Squadron, Hard Wax, Top Dog, City Miles, Brassknuckle and Clockwork Soldiers) but aside from that it was 2017's Life On File ep. (https://hostileminds1.bandcamp.com/album/life-on-file). Drummer/vocalist Tom Boutwood has popped up a number of times with his other bands, Hard Wax, Arch Rivals, Riot City Radio and Dead Legions whilst bassist Matt Colton is also in Hard Wax & Riot City Radio and guitarist Tom Murphy is in Riot City Radio so I don't suppose we can complain about their lengthy absence. Especially as that absence is now at an end...
Back in October they reported that plans to get a new album finished this year were behind schedule but that they'd be back in the studio in the new year. Happily they've just finished a song and uploaded it to Youtube to tide us over. As far as appetite whetters go, it's a good one. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Andrew 'Doc' Collins at PMC Studios, Plymouth, it sounds great. Nice and gritty bovver rock with a big singalong chorus. The change from a 4 piece to a trio hasn't affected them, they're still as powerful as ever. Sirens are blaring out, Sound The Alarm....
