REVIEWS SPY KIDS/ANTI CLOCKWISE SPLIT 7"

Spy Kids / Anti Clockwise - No Fuss No Mess Just Pride And Passion Volume II Pride And Passion

“No Fuss  No Mess Just Pride And Passion” volume 2 is a split EP between Spy Kids and Anti Clockwise. While volume 1 was limited to 78 (!) copies and only sold with the Bomberpilot fanzine volume 2 has a total being pressed of 185 copies and is a little easier to get.

But just because this piece of wax is a little easier to get doesn’t make this release less interesting. Side A kicks off with the Spy Kids from Weimar, Germany and present their new line-up for the first time on a recording with female vocals from Anika, but still the great tunes you would expect from a German Oi! / Streetpunk. Besides their own song “You Make Me Sick” Spy Kids also included the Stars & Stripes classic “Shaved For Battle” to their contribution for this EP and I’m loving every second of this side!

When you flip the 7” over you get Anti Clockwise from Magdeburg which is also in Germany. They have recorded two of their own songs for this EP which are 100% in German language as well. I personally don’t mind the native tongue at all with bands such as Böhse Onkelz and Vogelfrei being some of my all-time favorite bands. Anti Clockwise remind me of early Onkelz from time to time with a whole lot of Rabauken in the mix and deliver a very good side as well!

If you can order this EP somewhere… anywhere… get it!

Thanx to American Oi!

 

Spy Kids/Anti Clockwise - Pride and Passion Vol.

Pride and Passion Records - EP -


570_spy_aclc.jpgThis is split EP of two German bands which are well known here in CZ – Spy Kids from Weimar (with their split with Normals?!) and Anti Clockwise from Magdeburg (they played on Streetkids 2012). With both bands you may find an interview here on BB. Spy Kids have some line up changes – on vocals is now girl named Anika. Anti Clockwise are still playing in three pieces. Each band has there two songs. Spy Kids has there You Make Me Sick and Shaved for Battle from Stars and Stripes. Anti Clockwise has songs Generation Null bock and Oi! Musik. Spy Kids guiter has grea garage feeling but it is also great in solos. Great is changing of female vocals in refrains. Lyrics are about the fact that we didn´t come from the high class and we have to stay on our own feet even the other above call us scum. Shaved for Battle is well known song which need no introducing. Anti Clockwise has both songs in German language but under the lyrics are a few words about the song (but again in German). Their first song is about the lost of youn people´s identity and modern trends like TV, internet and mainstream. Second one is simple song about workers life who is going to listen Oi! music after he came home from work when other people listen just to radio bullshit. Their music is grat skinhead rock´n´roll (even they are playing just in three) in middle rhythm. Spy Kids music is faster on this EP. Inside are lyrics and band photos. Ep is limited to 160 copies. Good piece.
