RESISTANCE 77
THOROUGHBRED MEN (1984) • DIRTY PUNK RECORDS
UK82 / OI! / STREET PUNK • NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND
REVIEW
Back to 1984 with RESISTANCE 77, the legendary Nottingham punk outfit, and their debut album "Thoroughbred Men"! Originally released on ROT RECORDS, the label associated with RIOT SQUAD, this record is a genuine hidden gem of 1980s British punk rock. Somewhere between traditional Oi! and second-wave UK punk, the band delivers twelve tracks packed with catchy riffs, powerful singalong choruses and genuine working-class energy. A very welcome vinyl reissue from DIRTY PUNK RECORDS!
From the opening notes of "Chelsea Girl", the formula is clear: sharp guitars, driving rhythms and rough yet melodic vocals. "Rich And Hated" and "Nuclear Attack" reflect the social and political tensions of Thatcher-era Britain, while "Pass Me The Bottle", "Rock Town" and "Thoroughbred Men" show the band's ability to write straightforward, highly effective street punk anthems. Think COCK SPARRER, SHAM 69 and the early Oi! movement, with an extra dose of infectious punk rock melody.
Forget polished production and unnecessary technical tricks: "Thoroughbred Men" has all the charm of a record played straight from the heart. The guitars are raw, the choruses stick in your head and the twelve tracks keep the momentum going from beginning to end. Often overlooked compared to the bigger classics of the genre, this album absolutely deserves a place in any serious British punk collection. A fantastic slice of UK82 and melodic Oi!: honest, energetic, catchy and full of character. An essential rediscovery!
