The Old Firm Casuals
Anyone else looking forward to some music from these guys. Its Lars from Rancid and he has started an oi band. If you check out the bands influences
and they stay true to them, then this should be a good release when it comes out.

Been hearing the name and was vaguely interested in checking 'em out until I heard Lars was involved.

not bad
not great but not bad either
sounds like they were listening to a lot of the last resort
the production on something like this should be not the best
fuck that big production bullshit
sometimes bands should sound like they recorded shit in a basement, on a 4 track, which is what i believe this is
you come at the king....you best not miss

i didn´t meant it needs a thick wall of sound production, but i don´t like the drumsound.
you´re right, sometimes is a rough production the best for a band.
as for this, if lars weren´t in the band, no one would much recognize them.
i think bastard choir and armed suspects have the better songs in that player.

i was just thinking i like ALL the other songs on there more than this one
again, it's ok
i get what they are doing
i appreciate what they are doing
but based on this song alone, i can take it or leave it
i like the last resort and the templars better
you come at the king....you best not miss

Punk rock auto tune has finally come!
Lets take all the fancy technology we have and make these songs sound like they were recorded in some shitty studio/garage in 1985.

This would have made a decent filler track on a new Bastards' cd. It makes no sense to me that someone like Lars Fredericksen would choose to play
music that is below his talent level. Oh well.

I read an interview where he said wanted to do a Oi type of band years ago, and some how or another it ended up as a crew US Thugs or something like
that instead of a band. I still don't understand what the point of a crew is or why its necessary, but that's probably a whole different thread.
Still looking forward to hearing more, i like thet stuff he puts out with rancid and with Lars Frederiksen and that bastards.
Well I've got a feeling I'm gonna get mine in. Retribution let the games begin.

Not a bad song, but yeah the production sounds like a rehearsal recording, or a scratch track or something. Hopefully the CD doesn't sound like this.

Oh yeah.... I agree. But the charm of many of the old oi bands was that they sounded like shit cuz they were just normal dudes making noise together
and doing it on a shoe string budget. It seems weird to me that someone who is really gifted musically would want to pretend like he can't sing or
play in order to sound like those bands. But to each his own..

I finally went ahead and listened to it, Lars hasn't done a thing yet that I think is worthwhile but I'd rather be able to talk about the music on
it's own merits instead of just based on my dislike for that douchebag. After listening to that song I have to say that it's pretty much instantly
forgettable and I can't see anybody really giving it a second glance if it wasn't for his name being attached to it. It's not the worst Oi I've ever
heard, but that's not saying much. When Oi is good it's great, but there's some horrifyingly bad shit out there under that genre. This just falls
squarely in the unimpressive range and since Lars' name doesn't impress me either, I hafta rate it as completely limp.

This went on sale at 6am Eastern.
Yellow is sold out.
Only 8 of the 100 'Fanatics Packs' left.
Not bad at all!

For a guy that has sold a couple of million records I wouldn't consider selling 100 7"s to be that great.

I feel like Lars was going for too much of a Templars recorded-on-a-4-track-in-our-garage sound. Wouldn't be so funny if the Stamford Bridge (Carl
Templar's side project) didn't sound polished and like what Lars should have been going after.
And didn't Lars produce one of the more polished Templars albums, Omne Datum Optimum? I know he was producing a bunch of GMM stuff around that time.
