Knock Off

Side By Side

(Self-issued)



Like the world-angry '80s punks from whom they absorbed much, Knock Off lace socio-economic criticism through fleet projectiles. Every thrown fist connects. But whereas distemper alone accomplishes nothing, its potential is here enhanced by regard for melody. Singalong voices of defiance.

Recommended: "Take His Eyes," "Tear It Down," "Working Class Boy," "I Don't Fucking Care," "Side By Side," "Back With the Band," "Streets of Gold," "No One Gets Out Alive," "Brave New World," "You Won't Change Us," "Just Fuck Off"

Video: "Back With the Band"
