GRIT – new demo out via Distr-Oi! Records
What you may need to know…
01. Hailing from Dublin, GRIT deliver seething female-fronted Oi! punk.
02. Consisting of members of RATS BLOOD and Burnchurch, the band debuted this past July at a gig in Grangegorman, followed by the digital self-release of their eponymously-titled demo.
03. The demo is streaming above in its entirety, available for streaming and download.
04. Sligo-based label and distro Distr-Oi! (an imprint of metal label Distro-y) have just announced the band will be releasing the demo on vinyl later on this year.
VERDICT: Challenging the predominantly male narrative of Oi!/punk in general, GRIT’s visceral disgust at the state of Irish society is not so much a breath of fresh air as a much-needed fist to the face.
These the lads who bought a load of soundcloud plays for their last single?
I humbly retract. I was thinking of the band Ghost Estates
Picked the wrong day to give up smoking heroin.
The “Sling yer ‘ook” line grated with me, but other than that its pretty good.
