Last year’s Oi! breakout Off the Top from Connecticut are definitely not messing around, and they’ve just hit the world with three heavy blows right to the gut. Their new release comes with the uncompromising title „Against the World“.
The whole onslaught kicks off with a bagpipe solo that caught me completely off guard. This Scottish-Irish retro vibe might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but don’t let it fool you – right after that, all hell breaks loose. What follows is a raw, thick, and massive wall of sound typical of the American Oi! school, heavily infused with uncompromising hardcore.
This mini-album is the ultimate soundtrack to pure frustration and street rage. The message is crystal clear: If something pisses you off, grab a baseball bat and swing with everything you’ve got – even if it’s the whole damn world. And you can bet that even if you were having a peaceful day and nothing bothered you before, after spinning this, it definitely will.
Pure aggression and zero compromises. Nothing more, nothing less. Crank it up and attack!
