Let's stay in the Nineties and visit a small town on the Mediterranean. There we meet the Drunken Nuns, a short-lived Oi! band from Savona, consisting of Simone (vocals), Master (guitars), Tony (bass), Roby (drums), and were active in this decade. They did manage to release a 7Inch featuring four classic Oi!/StreetPunk pieces and was released via Knock Out Records. Their lyrics, comes with lyric sheet in Italian and English, often dealt with proletarian themes, nonconformity to the system and social injustices. Catchy riffs, rough and underlines their reputation as an energetic and politically engaged Oi! band. They made a more brief appearances on a few Compilations, and that was it. In summary, the strength of the songs lies in their authenticity and intensity, not in technical finesse. For fans of the genre, they are "pure working-class anthems" that perfectly capture the zeitgeist of the Italian Punk scene of that time. A brilliant record with no musical experiments; grab it!
