Crown Court - Sect 59

    

  I've got to be honest, I wasn't sure we'd hear anything more from London oi upstarts Crown Court (https://www.facebook.com/Crowncourtoi). Their impressive album Capital Offence came out 5 years ago and their last ep was 2018's Mad In England (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/09/crown-court-mad-in-england-guest-review.html) . 

  Since then Charlie Manning Walker has been doing very nicely for himself with Chubby and the Gang and The Chisel and their Facebook page has seen only tumbleweed drifting along. But then we got a post; Adjournment Over. It was the announcement that the band will be on an impressive bill for the Cream Of The Crop 3 all dayer at Bedford Esquires on 22nd July 2022   https://www.facebook.com/events/bedford-esquires/cream-of-the-crop-3/676473819592616/ 

  This was immediately followed up by the release of a new single. 2 tracks, Sect 59 and Scum, it looks as though it'll be available soon on Rebellion Records. The songs are already streaming on Bandcamp though at a price that might make you wait before downloading them  https://crowncourt.bandcamp.com/album/sect-59-scum 

  This is about driving fast and avoiding the boys in blue. Sect 59... 

Crown Court - Mad In England (Guest Review By Baldy)

 

  A guest review today. Baldy (aka Adam Mishkin) is from Australia and is part of the admin team on the Church Of Oi! Facebook group. He knows his stuff so I asked him to give his thoughts on the latest ep by Crown Court. You can find the ep here : https://crowncourt.bandcamp.com/album/mad-in-england

  This is what he had to say....

C Court review : Mad in England E.P.

By Baldy, Straight out the gate, the first track smacks you in the face and gives a kick to the bollox just in case the smack to the face didn't really wake you up!! With Fight or fall, same with the modern classic Mad in England, absolute rousing belters. No messing about and straight to the point in this E.P. Not that they didn't know how to up the pace in previous releases, just that this release they get straight to the business with no foreplay lol. If you know this band at all, more of the same greatness. Harks back to their same formula as previous, but doesn't get stale at all, not for die hard fans, and not for me. Still a finely tuned mix of some progressive punk, street punk, 80s influenced Oi and rock n roll. Still one of the best British new comers on the Oi scene. A great mix of some fresh, raw, passionate riffs, music, vocals giving a nod to the old guard of the 80's, but also bringing something fresh and vibrant and ready to make a new mark on the scene of Oi!. (As if they haven't already, course they have) I got the Trouble from London demo tape, and fuck was I impressed from the first time I heard the first track up on that too. Though some members have also been busy in other bands, Violent Reaction, The Flex and Arms Race, these fella's have been pretty prolific with releases from Crown Court. And that's a good thing. On the GG's puts on the breaks and slows it down, sorta like a rock n roll dirge after the energetic aggressive Oi tracks. Defo reckon I hear some late 70s style 'bovver rock' influence here,(bit of Jook, bit of Guida maybe?) quality laid back rock n roll, slower but still got some proper grunt none the less. This track wraps it up nicely. All in all another great record from these lads. Fans will not be disappointed, newcomers will be impressed. If you haven't already, have a listen ffs, enjOi!


And in a break from tradition, here's all 3 songs...

Crown Court - We Made You

  Crown Court are a band from London who are one of the best of the many new British acts that are springing up at the moment. They've only been together since November 2013 but have already released an impressive demo, Trouble From London (https://crowncourt.bandcamp.com/album/trouble-from-london-demo), and a 3 track 7" titled Ruck And Roll.

  Now they're back with another 3 track 7" which like the previous single is on Rebellion Records. It's called The English Disease and you can snap up a song from it here : https://crowncourt.bandcamp.com/album/the-english-disease.

  Taking their name from the song by On Parole (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cj9CC5YFo), they're out to breath new life into the UK Oi/skinhead music scene. The members, Trev, Charlie, Nick and Tim also feature (or have featured) in a number of other bands including Arms Race, Love Triangle, Stomping Ground, Violent Reaction, DIE and Smear.

  From the new single, this is We Made You......
