They Came From Boston Vol. 1/ Various - They Came From Boston Vol. 1 (Various Artists)

They Came From Boston, Vol. 1 is a snapshot of what is going on in the Boston punk scene in 2017. STRAY BULLETS kick things off with three songs of their ska-punk blend. Think OPERATION IVY or CHOKING VICTIM, not the bands with horn section. Front-man, Jon Cauztik, is well known as the leader of HAVE NOTS. STRAY BULLETS preceded that band and continue on it's aftermath and is considered by many to be the superior band. STRAY BULLETS' last album was released by Dying Scene Records. DUCK AND COVER are rock sceneveterans that may have landed on their best project to date. Reviews of They Came From Boston, Vol. 1 favor DUCK AND COVER for their bare-knuckle rock n' roll approach. They hit you with catchy and memorable songs, high octane energy and vocals and guitar playing that both sing. THE WARNING SHOTS kick off side B with three vocal heavy songs including a cover of the hippy classic, Eve of Destruction. THE WARNING SHOTS also have a new full-length LP and CD available on State Line Records. BLOOD STAINED BRINDLE close out the B side with classic singalong oi in the spirit of THE BRUISERS, DROPKICK MURPHYS, DARKBUSTER and many that have come before them. Whenyou lend an ear to "Politics" you will see why BLOOD STAINED BRINDLE is poised to jump into the fray on the national oi scene soon.
