Stomper 98
Althergebracht
(Pirates Press)
4/5 Stars
Oi! fans, welcome to your new infatuation. With over 20 years of powerful Oi! sounds already, this time around the Germans have Lars Frederiksen of Rancid fame contributing to the assault. While Sebi Stomper's snarled vocals suit the frenetic pace of the album well, the strategic, soulful saxophones add a warm element to the anthemic tunes with anti-racist themes and smart protest. Sung entirely in German, the memorableness of this isn't diminished despite the language barrier, as their powerful skinhead punk is a universally embraced art. Hands down their best work to date.
