Fatal Blow - The Knives

   


  Skinhead Forever Bonehead Never


  Fatal Blow (https://www.facebook.com/fatalblowstreetpunk) are the anti fascist oi/streetpunk trio from South Wales who started off as a side project of The Oppressed and who've put out some top notch releases over the last 5 years or so (https://thefatalblow.bandcamp.com/).

  They return to Just Some Punk Songs with a track from their excellent new album, Rise Of The Underdog.


  It's a dozen tracks of the 70's/80's classic oi style that the band are known for and confirms their standing as one of the best of the modern day bands who play these kind of working class anthems. It's not yet on Bandcamp though you can listen on Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mcnB58Nbp2evm1l9-lTUkCNr7ScW85WKs  (Is it just me who's hearing influences from Go For It era Stiff Little Fingers on some of the tracks?)

  American fans might be interested to hear of their 1st ever US gig in October at the Bossanova Ballroom, Portland, Oregon.


  To help promote the album, the band have released a video for the song Skinhead Attitude  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTuPnnRi7zU


  There's many more highlights though. I played Punk Police on this week's show and for the blog I'm going with a song about a young life taken, another wasted life. This is The Knives...
