Killroy – Football Chants & Angry Rants

80s-era SoCal band Killroy is back for another round with their brand of oi! Punk. It may sound as something of an anomaly but these Americans simply transported hooligan music from the streets of the UK to the States. Except now it’s not about soccer but American football. And let’s face it, it’s not as if a couple of Americans can’t crank out the three-chords-are-all-you-need punkrock songs with angry vocals just as well as their UK counterparts.

Along the way they throw in a Cockney Rejects cover (“Bad Man”) and play Sham 69’s “Borstal Breakout” under a different name (as if we wouldn’t notice!) and then call it a day after 15 songs. Nothing new here but they do the chants and rants thing just fine.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
