The Dinz - I'm Alright

 


  Before I finish the year with a 2 day special Top 100 songs of 2020 Chart, I'm going to post something by a band that sound like a throw back to 1977. They're from Portsmouth, they're called The Dinz (https://www.facebook.com/robertsofsouthsea/) and they unapologetically base their sound on punk's golden era (though they add a slice of anarcho with a funk twist). 

  They released a debut Self Titled album in 2019 on Trashwax Records ("No garage punk, no surf and no rockabilly type stuff at all here...Punk Rawk from Pompey (Portsmouth in England). A blistering album of 77-78 styled punk (although they only got together in April 2018)...All original tracks and banged out over a couple of weeks...A bit of early SLF, a touch of The Addicts and a whole heap of attitude...Not surprising this is such a good album considering their previous ! (Bananafish, Mild Mannered Janitors, SKAW, Racketeers).... 300 copies on a rather fetching shade of Banana Yellow!" : https://www.trashwax.com/product/lp-the-dinz-s-t-ltd-edition-trash-wax-release-yellow-vinyl). 

  Since then, there's been the Carry On Dinz ep and the Investment Wanker ep plus a couple of other tracks, one which I'm featuring today. You can find them all here : https://thedinz.bandcamp.com/ 

  If you like your punk rock music to have that authentic, back in the day sound then The Dinz are for you. This song is called I'm Alright...
