I bought this split warm yet because I bought it on the day which was pressed. Split EP was released in three colors combinations in 250 black/blue, 100 black and 250 black/blue splattered and the last version is version which I have. On EP are two songs from band Strongbow which comes from Dresden and two from Razors in the Night from Boston which European tour is running in present time. Strongbow has songs called Last Respects which is dedicated to memory of father of some band member who was also friend to other members. Song is slower rhythm and acousit in style of ballads from Dropkick Murphys or Flatfoot 56 (you will hear accordion here) with light touches of punk rock like Saturdays Heroes. Lyrics is about giving respect and honour to man who left this world and who is on better place now and see all this. Second is called Part of the Problem and it is punk rock with rubbed guitar about the fact that when man closes his eyes and denying the lies which he hear becomes guilty as the person who do it. RITN is music from harder barrel - Oi!/streetpunk mixed with the best from HC. First song is called Alcoholist and it is about close minded people who look from above on you and tell you how to live. Second is fast one called Hate LA about the fact that the band likes more their streets of their hometown then LA full of parties for the rich full of expensive wine and coke. Singalong refrains are done by friends of the band and you can hear gain female vocals which underline them. Great is also cover which you can open and you´ll find lyrics, photos and band logos there. Even the EP itself is put into paper cover which is printed. If I didn´t know the bands and on the cover wasn´t written the city which they come from I probably guess that Strongbow are from US and RITn from the old continent. Great!
