Crown Court - Ruck And Roll


Here we are gonna talk about the new EP made by Crown Court, from London, and produced by Rebellion Records. Short, violent, angry: a perfect description for the three bitter tracks that are inside this 7", that follows (also with its similar sound) the first tape this band putted out in 2014 (a lot of brand new bands from England, hun?). It sounds a little too dirty, for sure it's not properly the classical oi band, but they are not unexperienced amateurs and the band got some already known faces (Violent Reaction, Arms Race and Abolition tell you something? the young promises of UKHC!), so don't expect for the classical "too simple" debut stuff. In fact, to be sincere, it's very simply and straight to the point stuff, but the songs are well built and they got a touch of UK82 style that emproves all. 

The opener is the best songs for us: a great tune, full of energy and with a good and rough guitar solo that it's like a thunder in your ears when it breaks into the song. The drumming is like an hammer and the voice is angry and hate-spreading as we like it most: fucking pure impact to start in the best way! "Style identified" it's the second song and it's a very English style song, taken from the early 80's stuff like Special Duties, and we like also when UK bands go deep into their past to take the best stuff their older brothers made back in the days and they use that stuff now, to make some cool music again. The end of this work is commited to "Away", that simply feed our doubts: it's not a bad song but we can't get the point, it's like NYHC putted in the middle of an EP that with NYHC has nothing to do, so nice song but what it should means here?


Of course, returning to the point, this is the first work after the tape (in free download on their bandcamp, you find the link to it under the tracklist), and, well, it got the sign of this on itself. The songs are cool, the sound is strong and a like how the they kick in the right spots, but, hell, it's fucking discontinuous! Passing from A to B side and it seems another band that try to make something different, and when you got just three songs, it's a little confusing to make like that, because what you are doing loses in impact. Anyway, as already said, this EP got a cool, angry and hungry sound, and the band is young, so it's a duty to support them, to buy it and we will wait for the next release, hoping that for that day they will choose straight line in composing.


London Diehards, Widowmakers, Oxley Midnight Runners, The Firm, these are just some names that pops in my brain listening to them, so give them a chance and take a good listen!

1) Three stretch
2) Syle identified
3) Away (gilpin rock)
