Hey folks, I know, it’s been some time since the last posting up here, but
here it finally comes, the first new one since some weeks and the first post in
2013 as well. The delay was and still is caused by some internet troubles. I
moved and changed my address and apartment the week before christmas 2012 and
in my new apartment I at least still currently have no own internet access and
only the gods know when this will finally change. It sucks. Anyhow, that’s the reason why no new post before came up here and
also why I’m totally out of the move and don’t have a single clou what’s going on online for example on all the other blogs I
use to read. Hopefully this will change very soon. Okay, anyway I figured out
to manage to bring this up here via using another computer and another internet
access (yes, a really clever guy I am…;-) …) and so this posting will be quick done and coming up
online ready to read. Done it some time ago on my own computer and via the use
of an almighty USB Stick, it works all like true magic or so, and by the hands
of a almighty magician this now comes finally to happen. ;-) I hope it all will
change as soon as possible to the better side of things, and then far more new
posts can come up here and 2013 can start also up here on this very blog of
mine. So, okay, what we have here is a review on the 7’’ vinyl single release of the split single of the LAZY
BASTARDS and the DROOGIEZ, both bands rocking out of the dephts of Bavaria and
celebrating Streetpunk music, and this finally again on a pretty high level.
The LAZY BASTARDS you may already know by reading through this blog the last
months and the DROOGIEZ are a pretty prominent band because they share a member
with the almighty STOMPER 98 and got some bullshit AFA defamation propaganda as
well especially over the last one, two, three or so years here in Germany. You
know the deal, they are all Nazis in disguise and they are so clever that they
are so incredible good hidden and masked Nazis that they by themselves don’t even know it but the brave AFA and OIRE SZENE and so
on guys are even more clever, thank the gods for this gifted guys, and so they
know about the real deal. What a bunch of crap. Can’t eat so much as it makes me wanna puke out on this
bullshit AFA guys. Unnecessary to say that also the LAZY BASTARDS got portions
of this AFA defamation propaganda as well. Also unneccesary to say that this is
all nothing but idiotic bullshit crap. Okay, anyway, enough about this ‘’low-brained’’ idiots and finally back to the topic, the 7’’ here and the music featured on it. Side A is occupied
by the DROOGIEZ, a mostly short haired three piece playing pretty strong
rocking and classic or traditional kept U.K. inspired or influenced
Punkrock/Streetpunk with snotty and pretty clean lead vocals, nice more voiced
back up chants, pretty strong rocking and pretty catchy guitar work and a tight
played and powerful rhythm section. Nothing anyway special or new or so but all
pretty authentic and sympathic as well as done really good so fans of U.K.
styled Old School Punkrock/Streetpunk of the rocking and more melodic kind will
surely like this stuff. I do so as well. They play us their for all what I know
own song“BACKSTREET BILLY” (a strong rocking affair) and do a very good cover of
the LAZY BASTARDS song “SAD STORY” and they do it great with a pretty strong own
approach to it as well as a great “TROOPS OF TOMORROW” tribute arrangement. Thumbs up for the DROOGIEZ, good
stuff on their side. Side B then is owned by the LAZY BASTARDS. And this 7’’ not only stands between their solid debut CD EP and
their great new one in a chronological way, but also if we look at or listen to
the quality. Not so strong as their new one but for sure stronger and better
than their first one and a huge step in the right direction for them. They give
us also two songs, their own one “STAY TRUE” and the DROOGIEZ cover tune “RUINATION GUARANTEE”. Both songs are done damn good shit, sing a long
fueled and driven and dominated catchy, hymnal and melodic, yet fiery and heavy
Streetpunk with clear influenes from the U.K. Old School as well as up to date
and pretty U.S. american influences, somewhere between COCK SPARRER and
RANCID/TIME AGAIN, all full of sharp played guitars, heavy bass work, tight and
precise fast drumming, loud back ups and hymnal as well as snotty charismatic
lead vocals. Done damn good guys. The songs of both bands also feature good
lyrics, the production sound is on both sides a really good done affair, and
the artwork is just a pure bomb, each side (http://www.myspace.com/lazybastardscrew)
