Houston, Texas Oi! outfit Liberty & Justice are releasing the extensive collection Stomping Through the New Wave today. The double LP brings together 27 tracks taken from the band’s back catalogue – EPs, splits and other releases, including material that has been out of print for years.

Formed in 2015, Liberty & Justice have carved out their own place in the American Oi! and streetpunk scene. Their sound takes traditional Oi! influences and pushes them through a harder hardcore edge, with a touch of rock’n’roll swagger. The band’s reference points range from The Templars and 4-Skins to Sheer Terror, The Trouble and Thin Lizzy.

Stomping Through the New Wave isn’t a brand-new studio album in the usual sense. It’s more of an extensive archive, bringing together material from different stages of the band’s career. Alongside tracks such as No Substitute, Knife’s Edge, St. Jude and Still Here, the collection digs up songs originally released on now hard-to-find EPs and splits.

The double LP is released through Longshot Music in cooperation with Joe Pogo Records, with limited coloured-vinyl editions available.

For Liberty & Justice followers, it’s a chance to put a sizeable chunk of the band’s history in one place without hunting down long-gone splits and EPs. For anyone new to the Houston crew, Stomping Through the New Wave makes for a solid way into their catalogue.
