THE STRIKE - Oi! Collection 2004

This is a damn cool release from a damn cool band. The Strike never recorded an album and on this collection are songs from the Split Skin's & Punks 2 with The Betrayed, three demo cuts and all their official bastards. Unbelievable that their material was released so late because The Strike were founded in the late 70's near Inverness. Their first vinyl appearance were two songs on the Strength Thru Oi! compilation, Gang Warfare and Skinhead, both fucking good. Other compilations goodies followed but for an own album has it as I said never be enough, for whatever reason. There is an informative biography inside by Fergus (singer) so I don't wanna tell you. Musically fourteen shiny Oi! smasher with heart & power!
