Bovver Bailey - Round The Back Of The Azad

  

  A skinhead rock n roll band from Liverpool today who seem to have been around for maybe 6 years? (they released a demo in 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOA8f-55QiY) but who I've only just come across today..

  They're called Bovver Bailey (https://www.facebook.com/BovverBailey) and they're a quartet (Sid - Vocals, Paul - Guitar, Ged - Bass & Piggy - Drums). They've just released a new ep, I'm guessing it's their debut proper release (though I may be wrong). It's one of the best new working class oi releases I've heard for a while, it's definitely got 70's punk/Quo/glam stomp influences and you can find it here : https://bovverbailey.bandcamp.com/album/round-the-back-of-the-azad

  This is the title track, it's called Round The Back Of The Azad... 

Straight there n' back again N' mind how yer go 'cos the scallies in the alley They reckon, they know That the goth in the offy That got mugged for his bifters Pointed the finger N' somebodys brother got lifted Now there is half a dozen cousins Tearin' round cursin' yer name But they're all just mouth N' they all just talk a good game Seen yer on the corner of Stanley Road Waitin' for a kick off - Ready to go But yer ahl girls always callin' the cops Flashing blue lights across the video shop And if you don't like it & yer feel like fightin' Lad you can go bring yer dad - Alright?! N' anybody else who fancies themselves I'll see yer round the back of the Azad Straight there n' back again in one piece if yer lucky Gettin' rolled for yer dole Outside of the bookies Clobber good n' proper Not one word to the coppers Or I'll see you get stabbed, behind the Happy Shopper! Now there is half a dozen cousins Tearin' round cursin' yer name But they're all just mouth N' they all just talk a good game Seen yer on the corner of Stanley Road Waitin' for a kick off - Ready to go But yer ahl girls always callin' the cops Flashing blue lights across the video shop And if you don't like it & yer feel like fightin' Lad you can go bring yer dad - Alright?! N' anybody else who fancies themselves I'll see yer round the back of the Azad!
