DISTURBED MOTHERFUCKER and HAMMERED MOTHERFUCKER - "LOOKING FOR TROUBLE SPLIT SERIES VOL. IV - THE FOOTBALL EDITION" (Britain Hooligan Rock'n'Oi! on "M.F.S. PRODUCTIONS" in 2011)

DISTURBED MOTHERFUCKER & HAMMERED MOTHERFUCKER - "LOOKING FOR TROUBLE SPLIT SERIES VOL. IV - THE FOOTBALL EDITION"
("M.F.S. Productions"; CD):
Okay, this one is now up waiting for its review for quite a while now already. The first two split albums of the "LOOKING FOR TROUBLE" split series of "M.F.S. PRODUCTIONS" featured THE LONDON DIEHARDS, the TATTOOED MOTHERFUCKERS, SKINFULL and BAKERS DOZEN and both were/are truly a great listening pleasure, then the third CD featured THE FIRM and THE PRIDE and was to me utter garbage, sorry, even both bands may - be not bad at all they were and are simply totally not my bottle of beer, that's it, so simple it was and still is. So okay, now what's the story with this one here and how will it go and what will it turn out to be at the end of the day?!? A pretty ''strange'' affair somehow... First of all the DISTURBED MOTHERFUCKER and the HAMMERED MOTHERFUCKER are basically both the same, offsprings of the TATTOOED MOTHERFUCKERS and so it's everything but a ''real'' split album and also the style of the DISTURBED MOTHERFUCKER (paying tribute to Leicester City) and the HAMMERED MOTHERFUCKER (paying tribute to West Ham United) is pretty much the same, okay, the DISTURBED MOTHERFUCKERS are by far more heavy while the HAMMERED MOTHERFUCKER is by far more catchy, but both are or play hymnal and anthemic sing a long fueled yet hard rockin' and heavy rollin' ''new schoolish'' U.K. Brickwall Oi! with a nice ROSE TATTOO and MOTÖRHEAD touch on it, and so it's all more of a ''normal'' album of more or less the same band playing under different names and nothing but a split album at all, at least if you ask me. So after all ask yourself about the meaning and sense of this so called ''split'' album. Ah, and it's also more or less nothing but a thru and thru cover album as well, with cover tunes from MOTÖRHEAD over the 4 SKINS to the SEX PISTOLS you will know and find a lot on this very one here. Anyway, to me it's not making that much sense after all, even it's okay at the end of the day and for sure a good party album, even maybe not that very much more. All songs are done in the mentiond style, driven forward by dominant sharp and harsh guitars, mighty angry, pissed off, brutal and aggressiv as well as damn charismatic forceful lead vocals, backed up by a beefy and bulky massive stomping and buzzing rhythm section, all played by very good musicians, and all songs coming with different lyrics with a Hooligan, Football Casual and Football Firm theme to it. Anyhow, an unspectacular but still good album of heavy and rockin' U.K. Brickwall Oi! with a politically not so correct at all Hooligan spirit to it. Nothing necessary or desperately needed or so, some solid to good stuff, for sure, and if the described music is something that could or maybe even does please your gusto then check this CD out and buy it promptly, but even it's agood one I really do hope the next split album of this series will manage to keep up to the standard of the first two albums again. Great artwork (the typical corporate identity of this split album series, you know it) as usual and a good broad and crispy production sound we get as well delivered by/with this very album here. Cheers & Oi! (7 of 10 points)

  1. Loved this record and especially Hammered mother fuckers side. Its like listening to a Combat 84 reunion that will never take place haha. "Shake hands brother" is probably the most played British song in my home nowdays after Booze and glorys "Swinging hammers"
