Great work being done by @Carlow_Co_Co this morning in fairness but this is just too funny not to share. First truck is spreading grit on the road. Just wait for the second vehicle. @JOEdotie @broadsheet_ie #BeastfromEast #SNOWMAGGEDON pic.twitter.com/Ynq1eSw5Fg

Ah here.
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.
Right so.
