"The production job on this is great, they've made a great step forward, it's their best release yet. I've just ordered the cd."
That was just one of the very positive comments in the chatroom when I played today's song on a recent Just Some Punk Songs show. Unsurprising really as it is a damn good album.
Crashed Out (https://www.facebook.com/crashedout.uk) are from Jarrow in the north east of England and have been around since 1995. They've just released a new album titled Against All Odds (you may remember I featured the title track over 2 years ago https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/04/crashed-out-against-all-odds.html).
It was a very impressive song and it kicks off a very impressive album. It's also quite a lengthy album, boasting a value for money 16 tracks clocking in at almost an hours runtime. It's powerful street punk with plenty of singalong choruses about topics such as making your own rules, groundhog days at work, mental health issues, World War 1 & non league football. You can get it on vinyl and cd from Demons Run Amok Entertainment : https://bit.ly/3JiEfWE

This track is another with a war theme, it's sadly all too topical, it's called Warchild
Gotta keep running through the war torn city,
Gotta survive he's on his own,Past the bombed school and burnt out car,
Down to the ruin that he once called home,
Born with bombs flying overhead,
And drones that film from the cordite sky,
The western world is just a fantasy,
He saw it once on an old tv,
War-child in the war torn city,
Gotta survive the living hell,
He joined the masses and the exodus,
Looking for utopia that doesn't exist.
Chorus: Warchild on the run
Keep on running keep on running
Warchild got no home
Keep running keep running
Keep running
Through the bombed out streets tonight
Apocalyptic playground for the orphaned child,
Hungry and alone he's left to roam wild
His father got killed like his best friends dad,
His mother couldn't cope and slowly went mad
Warchild on the run
Keep on running keep on running
Warchild got no home
Keep running keep running
Keep on running keep on running
Keep running keep running
Keep running
Through the bombed out streets tonight
Amazing album!
