BLACK STAR BRIGADE - "They Think They Can Knock Us Down"- LP

This is a brand new LP released on my label, ROCK 'EM DEAD.  

This is a reissue of the Texan band, first released in 2003. The band could easily of been as big and popular as Rancid but events never took the right path for them. On 180 gm vinyl with 8 page insert with interviews and memories from the band members.

"a seamless collection fans of early Rancid and Dropkick Murphys will cling to their chests" 

Vive Le Rock Magazine 

 "Great f***in' s**t from these Austin, Texas punx -- it calls to mind the great first Swingin' Utters, Rancid, and Wasted LP's. Totally rocking and catchy songs, with a great multi-layered vocal attack that just pushes it over the edge when combined with the massive production on this disc." 

 MAXIMUMROCKNROLL Magazine

This is a reissue of their one and only album that was originally only released in the States on CD. A few copies found their way into distros in Europe including mine. Attracted by the cover and the name it came across as a mixture of Conflict/Crass and The Clash. The music however is straight out of the Rancid/San Franciscan StreetPunk style with a baked in the Texas heat twist.  This album stands up there with "And Out Come The Wolves...". I was so blown away with the album that 18 years later I'm releasing it as a European Vinyl issue, minus the one cover on the original album, but plus 4 unreleased trax. 

Members of the band have gone on to be in The Bulemics, KrumBums (ex-Casualities), Steadfast HTX and The Peawees
