Run Like Hell - Give
Em Hell CD
LOUD FAST RULES #3 (California)
This record is fucking great! They remind me a lot of a great Bay Area
band from a few years back called UNITED BLOOD. Faster up-beat melodic
Oi! It has your basic FOURSKINS or THE OPPRESSED chord progressions, and
attacking downstroke guitar sound, but ripping (real) rock & roll
guitar solos keep it interesting and new throughout. Great lil' punk record
here. For fans of the aforementioned bands, as well as bands like BLANK
77's, THE PIST, etc... Highly recommended. (BAM)

PUNK & OI IN THE UK (www.punkoiuk.co.uk)
First full length album from this New York based Streetrock
band who arrived on the scene in 2001 with a self titled 7 single.
Part metal, part oi, part punk this jumps out of your speakers with more
power and aggression than Ive heard in a long time on the opening
track Cross To Bear. The power the band put across is evident
all the way through the album, even on the last track that features a
piano in amongst the wall of noise. Comparisons can be made to bands like
Blitz and The Last Resort and occasionally Dropkick Murphys but
the songs are a hell of a lot faster. One of the best streetpunk albums
Ive heard in ages. For more info go to www.runlikehell.us or email

UNDER THE VOLCANO #88 (New York)
Here's a good Hardcore record. I'm not even a big fan of this genre, but
I did find myself getting lost in the guitar rhythms before being snapped
back into reality by the biting and very coarse vocals with very little
effort on my own part. There are the usual pounding beats and heavy beat
down breakdowns, but what I found to be quite cool was that Give 'Em Hell
is actually very well written, musically, and especially lyrically. I
like this record. I like it a lot. Oi! - Manic

SHORT, FAST + LOUD #14 (California)
Rough, street tough New Yawk punkcore here on a German label. R.L.H. play
a boot-stomping brand of punk, somewhere between rockin Oi and straight
up gruff punk rock, flight jackets, Docs and baseball bats in full effect.
Pretty good in the lyric department (always a dodgy aspect of this style)
with good criticisms of the "American dream", the scene, cops,
and not taking any shit from "the man".

STRUTTER'ZINE (www.angelfire.com/zine2/strutterzine/HOTNEWREVIEWS53.htm)
This New York based band is playing a mix of Punk, Hardcore and Oi! the
English way, so their 12 songs will be interesting to check out for fans
of bands like SHAM 69, THE BUSINESS and BLITZ, although there are also
clear EXPLOITED similarities here and there, such as on opener Cross
to bear. However, these guys are mainly playing good old early 80s
Oi!, which can best be heard on songs like Tired, We
won't tolerate it anymore, Strong and proud and Guerilla
warfare. Recommended to fans of THE BUSINESS and SHAM 69!

This shit fucking rocks!!! Run Like Hell plays a mixture of fast Oi!,
rock'nroll and just a pinch of melodic hardcore. They call this style
NY Streetrock and if that means fast pounding but melodic music that packs
more adrenalin than a pitbull on speed, topped off with a great raw voice,
I can only agree with this description. It hasn't been since Bonecrusher's
classic "Working For Nothing" that a streetpunk record kicked
me in the nuts this hard. During the first listen, I was already stompin'
round the living room like a madman, fist in the air and trashing every
thing in sight! In fact, at this moment I can hardly sit still enough
to type this review, haha. The two songs on side b aren't that special
and are probably a bit older, but "We won't tolerate anymore"
and "In memory" are instant classics every fan of hardcore punk
related music should hear. Damn, that great breakdown with solo in the
middle of "In Memory" alone makes this record a must have. Only
500 copies were pressed and they are almost out, so think fast if you
want one. If all goes well, Bad Dog Records will release a full-length
cd called "Give'm hell" this winter, I can hardly wait to get
my hands on that one! In the meantime, my only regret is that my record
player doesn't have a repeat button

INDECENT EXPOSURE #1 (Illinois -USA) AUGUST 2002
A really good first effort, two of the songs are decent tracks, nothing
special and the other two are probably two of the best Oi songs I've heard
in recent years. Apparently they have recorded a full length and its in
production stages so be on the lookout. If they stay true to the sound
they were developing on this 7" these guys (and girl) are gonna be
big dogs in American Oi very soon. (JY)
