Royal Oi! - Cowards & Bastards

 

  Royal Oi! are a bunch of football & beer loving punks from Glasgow who formed in 2014. Non political, they're just out to have a good time playing punk and oi! music. They've undergone several line up changes since getting together, they're currently a 3 piece (bass/guitar/drums) featuring both male (Davie) and female (Ana) vocals.

  Their first release was a 2014 demo and they followed it up a year later with debut album Bootboys And Hooligans. Both those releases can be found here : https://royaloiskins.bandcamp.com/ 

  2017 promises to bring the band to the attention of a wider audience as not only are they appearing at the Rebellion and Blank Generation Festivals, they'll also be supporting Cock Sparrer (Edinburgh 21st Oct) and touring Germany in June. No doubt they'll be playing songs from their forthcoming album, There's Gonna Be A Row. You can get more info here : https://www.facebook.com/royaloiskins/

  There's a couple of tracks from the new album on Youtube, the football themed title track and this song about standing your ground and fighting for the working class. A theme that's been done plenty of times before but not often as catchily as this. Cowards & Bastards.....

Cowards & bastards
They’re always running away
Cowards & bastards
They’re always running away

Skinhead, skinhead
Will never run
Skinhead, skinhead
Ready for the fight
Skinhead, skinhead
Fuck your politics!
Skinhead, Skinhead
Fighting for the working class
