Booze & Glory are back with their new e.p. This band was based in London and they declare themselves still to be from London, I think, but they are international crew that plays great melodic oi street punk with a touch of skate punk and hardcore in the songs. Some older fans don´t like the band´s turn to more melodic side of things in their last two full length albums, but I love it, especially the last album from 2019. Anyway, here are the four new songs. The title song is my personal favorite being a generic and hard hitting hardcore anthem in the lyrics and great melodic oi street punk song in the music. I listened to this one every day when they released it as a single prior to this e.p. Betrayed is a fast song about defiance, showing middle finger against the odds and living your way and never stop believing, reminding me why I love this not music, but lifestyle so much. C’est la vie is a slower, more punk rock oriented song about how life is short and how me must learn to live it the best we can. Great lyrics, guitar melody and singing along chorus for this one too. The Streets I Call My Own is a strong finisher and who is not touched by the lyrics of this band and songs is not into hardcore. I have been in this for thirty years now and still enjoy and get goosebumps with songs like this e.p. Can´t wait for the new full length.
