Hard-hitting, classic

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Anyone familiar with the genre of English punk will instantly recognize this album as a classic. The 4-Skins more or less defined English Oi! music during the 1980's. The tracks contained on "Clockwork Skinhead" are rough and tumble, hard-hitting and uncompromising. It's pure punk at it's best. The tracks drip with the frustration and anger of England's white working class. This album will not be for everyone. It's certainly not politically correct, and persons who favour mainstream music will definitely be turned off by the straightforward lyrics. The fact that The Last Resort were an unashamedly Skinhead band, will ensure this release never gets MTV play. "Clockwork Skinhead" takes you on a musical journey into the slums and housing estates of London. Some of the themes that run through this album would be: violence, apathy, unemployment, violence, drinking, frustration, violence, romance, poverty and violence!"Clockwork Skinhead" is a bold, harsh slab of punk history which exposes a sub-culture and a musical form the mainstream have always been to timid to embrace. This is the real deal."
