Oh shit, Skarhead is back. Apparently Lord Ezec figured out that he’s not going to make big bucks with his thugcore and so this time it’s “Drugs, Music & Sex” over “Drugs, Money & Sex”. Thirteen new songs, most of which are quite fun once you manage to look past the tough guy bullshit.

Still bridging the gap between punk, hardcore and hip hop, Ezec and his friends aren’t doing anything original but they bring everything with so much ferocity that you can’t help but get sucked in. Throw in a whole bunch of guest vocals from basically everybody in the hardcore scene (Freddy Cricien, CIV, Eddie Leeway, Jamey Jasta and Armand from SOIA to name just a few) and you’re looking at an enjoyable album that is only somewhat plagued by a couple of filler tracks. Other than that it’s great fun. My personal favorite would have to be “D.F.F.”, a streetpunk anthem with a dubby part in the middle.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
