Fatal Blow (https://www.facebook.com/fatalblow161/) are the oi/street punk quartet from South Wales who featured on here last year with a track from their excellent Generals And Soldiers album https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/04/fatal-blow-tent-city-reality.html
They return today with an equally enjoyable selection from a new long player titled Black Gold. They started up as a side project of The Oppressed and feature a line up of Paul Cobley (guitar/vocals), Nidge Downs (guitar), Wayne Bending (bass) & Antal Kizmus (drums). To help promote the album, they'll be supporting Booze & Glory at The Moon in Cardiff on November 17th.
Black Gold is a worthy follow up to Generals And Soldiers with 13 "working class hymns" that will get attendees at that Booze & Glory gig singing along. Politically astute songs of solidarity, fighting side by side and lost love, it even features a top notch cover of the Tom Robinson Band's Up Against The Wall. You can get it on cd and digital download here : https://thefatalblow.bandcamp.com/album/black-gold
Knowing that regular Just Some Punk Songs show listener Atti Emecz was going to snap up the cd I asked him to choose a favourite song for me to play on Sunday and I'll also post his choice here. This is One Voice...
cracking album
