Barbed Wire

“The Age That Didn't Care”

LP, Oi Records

This 1986 LP is currently in print on Captain Oi records. The CD adds two tracks from the "This Is Oi!" compilatin plus the Barbed Wire tracks from the split LP with the Abnormal. Barbed Wire were a Scottish 4-piece band that played street-punk in an age when street-punk meant they sounded more oi than pop. Even listening to this in 2007, the energy comes through, possibly due to the speed of most songs. The tough edge of the slower pounding Discharge guitar licks also comes through. A timeless street punk, oi record.
