Bahn frei für die Broadsiders aus Dallas, Texas!
Wenn Alex DeLarge statt auf den guten alten Ludwig Van auf hammerharten Oi! stehen würde, wären die Broadsiders der ideale Soundtrack für ein bisschen Ultra-Brutal! Im Ernst, mit "Pressed To Kill" geht die Band erneut einen Schritt weiter Richtung Cream of the Crops: Verdammt TEMPLARS beeinflußter Ami-Oi! ("Castle Law"), dazu ein klitzekleiner Schuss landestypischen Southern Rock ("Southern Identity") und das Ganze alles mit Vollgas durch die Boxen gedroschen!
THE BROADSIDERS zählen für mich zu den derzeit kompromisslosesten und besten amerikanischen Oi! Bands. 100% Skinhead Rock N'Roll.

BROADSIDERS – “Pressed to Kill” 10”
Seven songs of skinhead rock from Texas in the tradition of the TEMPLARS
and early SKREWDRIVER (in a back-when-they-were-awesome-and-not-racist way).
This isn’t as classy as the TEMPLARS at their best, and some of the guitar
leads are a little over the top, but make no mistake—this totally rocks. If
you’re a fan of the aforementioned bands, be sure to check this out. (JH)

| Dallas street rock'n'roll. I heard some positive stories about their music, so i wanted to check out their newest record. The vocals sound over the top, the record is pourly produced and the songs don't impress me either. Sorry, not my cup of tea |

While not a duplicate, rip-off, or even an homage to the list of bands coming; The Broadsiders find elements of some of my favorite oi/punk bands from the last two decades: Soldier 76, Brassknuckle Boys, No Holds Barred, The Templars, The GC5, and The Bruisers ("Cruisin'..." era). These boys are from Texas and tell you repeatedly. That Lone Star Pride is blunt and obvious. The Texan dirty rock and roll is infused into a blazing punk rock sound; on a strong Oi! backbone.
This is a hard-edged sound on top of an infectious rock and roll foundation. Often there is a frantic idle bubbling of tension backed by a wandering twang of guitar strings. Lots of energy and it is frothing over this tight, crisp unit of chords and drums. Lots of parts to raise a glass to and sing along with.
Note the bullets on the cover. This is Texas. and it ain't the happy part. Are you up for a ride in a broken down truck on a dusty road to nowhere? Grasping rot gut, a warm High Life and a shotgun. The man took half your paycheck, government is taking over, your back hurts, boss cut overtime, society spits on you and your girl is a little too flirtacious with your brother. this is the soundtrack.
Best of the chaotic derisions:
"Southern Identity"
"Reaction"
"Modern Times"
Pick it up!
