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 -
This
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.
