The new album by the Lithuanian Oi! mainstay has just arrived. Lithuanian band Toro Bravo have just released their anticipated new album, “Pergalių Dalybos” (Sharing the Victories), which is out on Pasidaryk Pats Records in collaboration with several friendly European labels (Bad Look Records, Rusty Knife Records, Zerowork Records, and 83 Records). After years of silence, the band returns with a full-fledged record that has the ambition to become one of the most distinctive Oi! releases of the year. The album features 11 tracks, ten brand new ones plus a new version of the well-known track “25”.

From the previews that the label gradually released (the single “Holivude” and the explosive “Imtynės”), it was clear that Toro Bravo sound rough, biting, and confident. The title Pergalių Dalybos suggests that the band is thematically venturing into the reckoning of struggles, personal, and societal victories and defeats. The record is being released digitally and on a limited 12″ vinyl, which is available in multiple variants through the individual collaborating labels. Pre-orders have been running for several weeks, and some variants are almost gone.

Toro Bravo confirms that they belong among the most significant bands in Eastern European street punk. “Pergalių Dalybos” is full of raw energy, clear attitudes, and a sound that is close to the classic European conception of Oi!. If you follow the Lithuanian scene or like a harder and more direct form of Oi!, this is an album you shouldn’t miss.
