Live - The Redskins

The Redskins were one of the most vital groups to emerge from the English skinhead scene of the early eighties. They were proudly, passionately socialist at a time when the mass media insisted that all skinheads were “Nazis”.Their music was marinated in the rich melodic broth of Northern soul just as much as it was driven by the energy and attitude of punk, great songs that stood the test of time. Best of the bunch was their second single Lean On Me, an inspirational blast of sing-along solidarity The words are as uplifting as the driving sounds. Listen to Bring It Down which shines a (red) light through the tired lies of establishment politicians: “You've never had so much is the cry of those who've always had much more than you and I.”

Was lucky enough to see this band a number of times, truly marvellous occasions. The band released one full album, Neither Washington Nor Moscow, before splitting up at the end of 1986. In 1995 Dojo released a collection of live recordings from 1985-1986. Their lyrics are as relevant today as they were then.
