Skinheads on a Rampage…
Today, in honor of America, hot dogs, pretty girls and apple pie–we give you the classic Shaved for Battle from Boston legends Stars & Stripes. Fronted by the legendary Jack Kelly aka Choke of Last Rites, Negative FX and Slapshot, Stars & Stripes are the power and the glory that is American Oi. Fourteen tracks of shaven head and big booted glory! Classic punk that clearly aims to put the boot in!

Hands-down, one of the best Oi records ever recorded. Bought it on vinyl on a trip to Boston in ‘89 or ‘90, and to this day it gets me aggro.

Saw them with Slapshot, Blood for Blood and a bunch of others at the Massachusetts Back to School Jam in 2002 or so. Awesome stuff. Love this record.

I go back and forth on this record — sometimes I cannot get enough but sometimes the wanky guitar bits wear on me a bit.
I’d always rather listen to Last Rights or the first two Slap Shot LPs but this is definitely still a must have.
