Back Breaker - Union Made
Some of you may know that I'm a big fan of Canadian political punks The Fallout. Today I've a song for you from a band that ticks all the same boxes. Great political, anti fascist, working class punk anthems... yep. Canadian, yep...from Kitchener, Ontario. Highly recommended... hell yeah! They're even gigging with The Fallout and others as they play the Rebel Time Records Punk Rock Matinee on Feb 2nd at North Hamilton's This Ain't Hollywood. You can check out details here : https://www.facebook.com/backbreakeroi/
The band line up with Jaysin (Guitar), Nate (Drums), Deville (Bass/ Vocals) and Terry (Vocals). As you may notice from the photo, Terry is in a wheelchair which I'm guessing is where the band name comes from? They've just released their debut ep, it's titled By Any Means Necessary and it's available on cassette from 3nines Compact Cassettes and digitally. It's "a salute to the working class and those fighting fascism in all forms of it across the world. This is a call to action for all of those who realize positivity is no longer enough. If we want change we must act, directly, militantly and by any mean necessary to ensure a safe and sustainable future for all" and you can check it out here : https://backbreaker519.bandcamp.com/album/by-any-means-necessary-ep
A look at the back sleeve's track list will give you an idea what to expect. It's anti fascist oi music and it's very good. A great debut release. I played Boot Boys on last week's Just Some Punk Songs show (https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/just-some-punk-songs-190120/) so today I'll feature their call for workers to unite. This is Union Made...
