Thug Boots - The Justice

Street Rock Records

 

Don’t let the promotional photo fool you! The four guys and a girl that form Thug Boots might not look like your average Oi! band. But as proven on their previous release, the “Elite Breed” demo, this Houston, TX outfit knows how to put the boot in and they continue to grow stronger and stronger on their debut EP “The Justice”!

 

I really like the sound of Thug Boots, because besides not looking like your average Oi! band, they don’t sound so either! Thug Boots has a real raw, hardcore-punk influenced bite to their sound that, as I already stated in my review of the demo, has a strong resemblance to their fellow Texans of CONCRETE. Although I have to admit tracks like “Steel Cap Thunder”, “Foreign Policy”, “Brother” and “Brickwall Battalion” carry a little less weight than their Austin buddies, who are absolutely smashing the scene at the moment (just my humble opinion).

 

But I don’t want to be negative, because if you are into bands like 86 Mentality, Semper Eadem, Negative Approach or Hired Goons you’ll be rockin’ the shit out of “The Justice” EP! After “Elite Breed” I wanted to hear more by these thugs and I am liking what I hear! Banger!
