The Scoffs - Little Blue Tyrants

    

    I was expecting a sparse turnout in the chatroom for yesterday's Just Some Punk Songs show as England were live on tv playing Belgium in the football but if anything there were more than usual listening in, hoping to hear a new favourite band (cheers guys). One of those new bands that went down a storm features on here today... 

  The Scoffs (https://www.facebook.com/thescoffs/) are old school punk rockers from Seattle who have a long list of influences including the likes of Blitz, Cock Sparrer, Sham 69, The Boys, Dead Boys etc etc etc... They line up with Steve "Knuck" Bostick (vocals/guitar), Gabor Szakacsi (guitar/vocals), Nate Manning (bass/vocals) and Rob Olsen (drums). They're genre veterans and have featured in a number of bands including DragStrip Riot, The Graceland Five, Sledgeback & Amazombies.  

  Earlier this year they released a debut 5 track ep titled Talk Is Cheap. It's anthemic punk n roll with songs about not trying to force your point of view on others, spreading lies till they become accepted as truths, murder, police violence and how you should own up to your own mistakes. It's good stuff and you can get the cd and digital download here : https://thescoffsband.bandcamp.com/ 

  Everyone likes a good cop song and The Scoffs have recently released a video to go with theirs. This is Little Blue Tyrants... 

Here comes the little blue man With his little tin star and a gun in his hand He's gonna knock your block off if you don't do what he says There goes another young man With a lesson to learn about making a stand Don'cha know blue meanies demand your total respect A C A B Don't cross that thin blue line A C A B Alright Oh no here come The little blue tyrants It's four on one with The little blue tyrants Watch yourself around The little blue tyrants Or bang bang you're dead The little Blue Tyrants Oh no There goes another young dad They shot him seven times Even though he complied While his wife and kid watched them blow him away There goes another young man Sick of being harassed about a cigarette tax So they choked him to death on the ground that day A C A B Don't cross that thin blue line A C A B Alright Oh no here come The little blue tyrants It's four on one with The little blue tyrants Watch yourself around The little blue tyrants Or bang bang you're dead The little Blue Tyrants Oh no A C A B Don't cross that thin blue line A C A B Alright Oh no here come The little blue tyrants It's four on one with The little blue tyrants Watch your nerves around The little blue tyrants Or they'll protect and serve The little blue A C A B That's right
