FRONTLINE SOLDIERS - OATH OF LOYALTY REVIEW IN NEUTRAL ACCENTS ZINE

Formed in the front end of the 2000's FRONTLINE SOLDIERS were made up of members ot THE INFILTRATORS, SKIN DISORDER & OFFENSIVE WEAPON. This posthumous 5-song release documents a 2004 recording of this long defunct NYC Oi1 band. Closest in sound to fellow NYC-ers FISRT STIKE and even DC's counterattack. FRONTLINE SOLDIERS played a recgonizable style of primal, fundamental New York Oi! of the 5 songs, I'm a sucker for the bouncing bass lines (which are dominant on the Ep and an overall highlight of the band) that opener "American Boot Squad" lays down, repeat with "ABS" chanted chorus and marching backbeat. Other highlights are "Warrior Rising" and the closer "Frontline Soldiers." Hard and clean, you know what I mean? United Riot did a nice work with the presentation as well - with insert detailing the history of FLS, written by the same chap that did the design/layout, well-known local (to me) artist Muna. A nice addition to your collection.
