Oi! Oi! We're the boys, we're the ones that make the noize! Oi! Oi!

Hey folks,

damn it, now it is Punkrock time, like it or not, haha;-)!!! You get now a video clip of the U.S. american Hardcore Punk band TOTAL CHAOS. Usually known for harsh and pissed off and aggressive Hardcore Punk that carries on the tradition of all the U.K. '82 Hardcore Punk bands and bringing this sound again and again into the present time- and I am a fan of them-, is my total favorite record of them the one that was a little bit different. I am talking about their fantastic "ANTHEMS FROM THE ALLEYWAY" full length, released by "Epitaph Records" back in the long, long gone days of the year of 1996. (Damn it, I am getting old, not enough that now-a-days I have a history by myelf, but I also have a history with records, damn it, haha;-)!!!) Yeahr, and this wasn't the first record of TOTAL CHAOS and yes, they are still around and very active today. Ah, and yes, 'once upon a time' also "Epitaph Records" use to release good bands and records and real Punkrock. Like I've already said was (and still is) the "ANTHEMS FROM THE ALLEYWAY" record a little bit different compared with their other releases back then and now. They set the Hardcore Punk aside and delivered us with this damn great record one hell of a hot and fiery Streetpunk record build upon a massive and very present 1977 Punkrock background. Great, and here and their also some classical Oi! influences were to hear. I always loved this record and I still love it today, it giving me really so much, and yes, if you can still get it then you should really get it if you're a fan of amazing Streetpunk and good old 1977 Punkrock, and it's still fresher and better than the very most of the Streetpunk stuff that is released today. Ah, and also a lot of damn good lyrics they have settled together back in the days, far away from this 'political' conspiracy buillshit they use to preach today. Now, the most important thing, you get the video of their great hymn "RIOT '77", and before you do get the video you do get the lyrics of this song. A great tribute to the birth days of Punkrock!!! Ah, and as usual, first the lyrics, then the video. That's all, so yes, watch the video, listen to this larger than life anthem, and just enjoy it!!! Cheers & Oi!

TOTAL CHAOS - "RIOT '77"

(taken from the TOTAL CHAOS record "ANTHEMS FROM THE ALLEYWAY", released in 1996 via "Epitaph Records")

1977 - when Punk first came alive

Part of the Class Rebellion - of the Misfits of that time

People needed solutions - from the boredom of their lives

We still feel the brilliance - of the Punk scene of that time

IT'S A RIOT '77 - AND PUNK IS STILL ALIVE
IT'S A RIOT '77 - AND THE SPIRIT STILL SURVIVES

IT'S A RIOT '77 - WHEN THE SCENE IS OUUTA CONTROL

IT'S A RIOT '77 - WE SAY LONG LIVE PUNKROCK & ROLL

Now it's 1996 - and things are outta control

Punk has come alive - in a way we couldn't know

I can't say how it survived - but I knew it always would

Rocking out in a Punkrock band - singing songs, we always loved

TOTAL CHAOS - "RIOT '77"
