Roughed Up - King And Council

  


  Who are Roughed Up? No idea guvnor though I get the impression they may have links to Crown Court (https://www.facebook.com/Crowncourtoi/) going off no evidence at all other than Crown Court having posted the Roughed Up single on their Facebook page. I'm sure we'll find out more in due time as their debut release is really rather good. 

  The single (get it here : https://getroughedup.bandcamp.com/releases) features 2 very promising oi anthems, flip side Outside having a chorus that'll allow sweaty skinheads in dingy clubs to sing "you're going home in a fucking ambulance, you're going to get your fucking head kicked in."

  The "hit" is the other track, it proves that Roughed Up have plenty of musical chops and that if they're going to be a full time band rather than a side project then we're going to be hearing plenty more from them. This is King And Council...

Liz is on the wall , but all she does is stare. Got junkies in my hall, as you promise me the air. More colours all together in my youth club Than the marble on your walls. Funny how it’s the always guilty Who find a name for it all. You really wrote the lot. Suit Charade I damn your name King and Council We all die the same Suit charade We’re your Shame Rich or Poor We all Die the Same Who controls the pavement , who controls the pubs, Whose mates backs turn When their shoulders rub. When you left School You left your class Mine followed me round And Caught up with me fast you can teach what’s already fooled Suit Charade I damn your name King and Council We all die the same Suit charade We’re your Shame Rich or Poor We all Die the Same
