This beautiful dittie features four energetic tracks by four Portuguese combos. The release serves as a tribute to the raw spirit of football and the term "Liga Dos Últimos" is widely recognized in Portugal for celebrating the humorous, grassroots, and passionate side of football, inspired by the RTP (Rádio e Televisão de Portugal) magazine show that followed lower-tier and amateur local matches. Kick off with Acromaníacos from Bobadela; formed in the mid-nineties, they have released a ton of material to date. Their song "Descontrolado" (Out Of Control) reflects the wild, unfiltered energy often found in the lower tiers of the stadium. #2 is hailing from Lisbon, Facção Opposta celebrate top notch Oi!, known for their aggressive sound and socially critical lyrics; their discography includes several vinyl releases, and the track "Carne Para Canhão", translates to Cannon Fodder, delivering a raw, anthemic critique. The second half begins with Albert Fish (named after an American murderer and cannibal), also from Lisbon and active since 1995 with a substantial back catalog, whose contribution "Hell" stands out to the band's signature of loud guitars, nice tempo and clear vocal style. Just before the final whistle, Canhões De Guerra, who previously lacked a vinyl release, wrap up the match with an explosive killer track titled "O Coiso" (The Thing); there is no extra time here. The title reflects a humorous, laid back tone and perfectly captures the spirit of the mentioned above TV show. All tracks embody a subculture that mirrors the chaotic, passionate, and uncompromisingly independent vibe of local Portuguese amateur football leagues. Hand numbered to 300 copies on purple clear vinyl and fitted with a lovely insert that is well worth seeing. TOP!
