Bakers Dozen - Sent Down
Bakers Dozen’s new record that includes three bonus tracks taken from the Ripe For Violence EP just saw the light of day. I’m not expecting anything that will change the world, but straight forward, tight and raw streetpunk/oi! from this Scottish outfit. According to the label it’s “Another successful chapter in the history of British oi! music!”.
This is oi! music as it should be. No core, no thrash, no metal sounding guitars, just plain honest oi!. Up-tempo straight forward streetpunk/oi!. Ten songs about drinking, fighting and pubs. All sung by Jon Scott, who does a nice job with his Scottish voice. When going over the titles at the back, most skinheads will probably start smiling right away, anxiously waiting to pop the cd in their player. With titles like “Fight For Your Life”, “Stand And Fight” and “Surrender Or You Die!” the lyrics speak for itself.
Bakers Dozen pulls of the Condemned 84 song “The Unstoppable Force” easily, which is a nice addition to the record. Just like the three bonus tracks from their previous EP the listener is treated to. The band manages to write some catchy songs, after a few spins melodies get stuck in your head, and humming along is easy from the first few seconds the record starts.
The ideal record for a fridaynight. Get home from work, kick back, put your boots on the table, grab a beer, and sing along!
