(scott) Completely unfamiliar with this band, just giving them a first listen........they are aptly named, they rock in a punkish style, I checked their history and they have actually released a few albums.......this one is a new (2016, you know what THAT means), "The Real Enemy"......it's pretty good, I think they merit further investigation........this one rocks hard, no arguing that, kind of retro late 70's American punk. It surprises me that I have never heard of them, but there ya go.......link-fuhrer John N sends us this one, and it sounds pretty damn good.........if John N or anyone else has more of this hard rocking band, this blog would be a perfect place for them to gain some exposure......---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
