The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
“antiheros”
Lots of hoarse shout-singing, anthemic tunes, sped-up rockabilly-based guitar leads, more than occasional 4-letter words, and social commentary mixed with patriotic exhortations mark this release by longtime streetpunk/Oi! band Anti-Heros. Easily worth the price of admission just for the hilarious nekkid photo of producer Lars Fredrickson under the CD tray.
