REVIEW : Breakaway - Warrior
Breakaway is a one-man oi/punk band from south Texas. In fact, all guitars, bass, “beats” (does this mean a drum machine?) and vocals on Warrior are handled by David Burke.

Song of the Day: Ballydowse - Blood In Our Guts
Celtic punk-now that’s a genre one doesn’t hear much of! But, Chi-town’s Ballydowse does it well. along with other genres such as oi, folk, klezmer & aboriginal.

They used many instruments besides the normal guitar, bass, drums including the mandolin, didgeridoo, moorhen, bodhran, whirligig, concertina, fiddle, bagpipes & bullroarer.… Continued →
