Boston's Battery March returns with their first full-length, Winter In America, delivering a potent blend of street punk and Oi! that bridges the gap between Massachusetts grit and European flair. Following their debut 7", this LP offers eight original tracks, plus a vinyl-exclusive cover of the Housemartins' "We're Not Going Back."
The album kicks off with "The Thick Blue Line," a scathing critique of police brutality, setting the tone for a record unafraid to tackle pressing issues. Tracks like "Arme Blanche" and "Sans Foie Ni Roi" introduce French lyrics, reflecting the band's bilingual approach and adding a unique texture to their sound. "Journey to the End of the Back Bay" and "This Is New England" paint vivid pictures of urban decay and regional pride, while "No Good Cops" pulls no punches in its denunciation of systemic corruption.
Musically, Battery March draws inspiration from classic Oi! bands, infusing their songs with gang choruses and driving rhythms.On this album, the band's passion and message remain front and center.
