The new single kicks ass

I bought this anthology from a charity shop for £1 and when I got it home an unused ticket for their 1986 gig in Bristol fell out. Definitely one of coolest things I’ve found inside a CD/record.

I'll start

The band Razor Bois was formed in Moscow in 2004 to play uncompromising anti‑racist Oi!/street‑punk. The collective was made up of three "redskins" influenced by bands such as The Clash, Angelic Upstarts, and Red London. The band held a strong anti‑fascist stance and opposed racism, sexism, homophobia, state oppression, and police brutality.

In 2005, the band released their debut EP "Bad News for the Scum!", which included seven tracks. In 2006, the band took part in the international compilation "Class Pride World Wide 3" released on Insurgence Records. Having organised and played several closed shows, the band broke up just at the moment when they were being massively invited to play both in the former USSR and in Europe.

In early 2008, after long wanderings around the world, the core members found themselves in New York, living in various ghettos. It was decided to resurrect the band from the ashes, now in an international lineup. Two new members were found: the first was old‑school American skinhead Keith, who from an early age listened to reggae and fierce American hardcore and mocked Nazi outcasts; the second was old‑school punk rocker Mike, who had lived for free for half his life in one of the oldest squats in New York. Mike had survived many police raids on the squat and had contributed considerably to defending the building by throwing bottles, bricks, and bags of waste at the "guardians of order". In addition, Mike and his friends were well known in the scene of the now‑defunct CBGB, where they never missed a fight.

After rehearsing their set in the basement of a local punk shop, Razor Bois began terrorising the New York punk scene. Their very first show gathered a mass of anti‑social elements from various walks of life - from skins and hardcore tough‑guys to skaters, crusties, and even Russian punk rockers from Brighton Beach wearing leather jackets with "Purgen" and "Sektor Gaza" slogans and "Russia" scarves. The show ended in a brawl, the trashing of the venue, a public beating of a hippie pedophile, and the arrival of the police, who arrested several people. In spring 2008, the band played a short tour of the US, performing with such bands as The State, Star Fucking Hipsters, Death Mold, and others. The band also took part in several benefit concerts in support of radical environmentalists, political prisoners, and together with RASH NorthEast organised a show in New York in support of the Russian anti‑fascist movement. Having conquered America, the band returned home.

In November 2008, their second, self‑titled album "Razor Bois" was released, featuring 19 tracks. The cover art was drawn by the well‑known artist Mike Bukowski, who is known for his anti‑fascist views.

In 2009, the band recorded a joint song with the Moscow hardcore band What We Feel - "Sometimes Antisocial, Always Antifascist", which appeared on What We Feel's album "Naschi 14 Slov". In 2010, Razor Bois took part in the benefit compilation "Drushbantifa" released on True Rebel Records, contributing the track "Zakrizaya Scena".

The lineup changed several times. As of 2010, the band consisted of: Vova (founder, the only original member), Grundik (drums), Ilya (bass), Vova American (vocals), and Diman (guitar).

After 2010, the band faded into obscurity, and its members moved on to other projects, including Moscow Death Brigade, George Harrison, Hoods Up 495, and Siberian Meat Grinder. The members themselves did not identify as anarchists or left‑wingers, calling their position "common sense".

Since nobody will do it for the passion anymore. I'll pay someone 10$ a month (or 5$ a song) to chug and play over some tracks and actually be a part of the band. Serious inquiries only, must use discord for communication and paypal or cashap for payment.

PUNK ROCKERS IN RECOVERY ANTHOLOGY BOOKS 

Hey guys this is one of my favorite songs I wrote a while ago for my Skate/Surf Punk band The Target Audience. Johnny Thunders was a huge influence on my guitar playing and the mystery of his death has always been super fascinating to me. Heres a link to the song on bandcamp but its also available on all streaming platforms. I tried to take alot of influence from older ramonescore bands like the Lillingtons and Screeching Weasel but also added a female vocal (Vocalist from an awesome Chicago band called Sex Dream featured on backing vocals!) Hope some of you guys might dig this. My buddy Lou drew a killer Johnny Thunders skull for the cover ala old Misfits Art!

Our debut album "The Scapegoat's Agony" turned 30 last November so we are giving away some free codes to celebrate this anniversary just a little bit longer🙂:

https://comabeach.bandcamp.com/album/the-scapegoats-agony

The album title "The Scapegoat's Agony" is an allusion to the play "Waiting for Godot" by Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett and points towards the – for the most part – painful and excruciating emotional odyssey of the unnamed antihero.

Our musical influences range from Sex Pistols, Ramones, Hüsker Dü, Joy Division, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain to Guns N' Roses, Therapy? and Bad Religion, with our songs frequently straddling the line between punk rock and alternative rock.
