VARIOUS ARTISTS - "CASHING IN CHRISTMAS VOLUME 6" (The latest installment of this already classic series.)

VARIOUS ARTISTS - "CASHING IN ON CHRISTMAS VOL. 6"
("REBEL SOUND MUSIC" & "BLACK HOLE RECORDS"; LP & MP3-Download)
(Running time: 20 songs in around 64 minutes.)
(A big "THX!!!" goes out to Brett Hole/"BLACKHOLE RECORDS" for sending me the comp in its MP3-version for promo and reviewing affairs.)

Okay, I gues... or know... at least two days too late, hm, but anyhow... okay, I mean I planned to do the little review on this comp on one of the christmas-holiday-days but I simply didn't find the time or the motivation to do something productive or just anyhow anything up here during this time, yes, and so the review on this christmas comp is coming up just now... but anyhow, even it's a Christmas comp it works also without the holiday spirit in the air surrounding us - and also the next Christmas is just one year away, so you see, it's anyhow the right time to still do the review on it, and so here we go: This comp is giving you a colored mix of a lot of todays Oi!, Streetpunk, and Punkrock acts from more or less "across the globe" serving new or exclusive songs and all with a ''special'' Christmas flavor to it, like this comp series is anyhow well known for. Like usual with comps the quality does differ, but thankfully not so much in this specific case, and so you can especially enjoy hard hitting streetrockin' Christmas tunes from the SAINTS & SINNERS (feat. Liz/DEADLINE), KEYSIDE STRIKE, THE HULLS, CITY SAINTS, GIMP FIST, SHAMELESS, ASSAULT & BATTERY, DRUG SHOCK, BRASSKNUCKLE BOYS, CONCRETE, DDC, and THE TRADITIONALS (fuckin' great!!!), and you see, it's a colored and thirtsy ride through the Oi!, Streetpunk, and Punkrock field that awaits you. So, okay, don't know what to write else, maybe just that I can calmly recommend this album to you, it's full of mostly strong music, mostly funny lyrics, a strong production sound, and a great MEAT LOAF - "BAT OUT OF HELL" homage/tribute artwork so go out and get it if you still shouldn't call it your own. Cheers & Oi! Oi! Oi! /// Andy
