THE BRUISERS – UP IN FLAMES (LOST & FOUND, 1996)



Poucas são as bandas que modificam sua sonoridade e conseguiram manter a genialidade. Uma das quais realizaram essa facete e admiro e certamente muitos, digo muitos, sentem sua falta é o Bruisers. O álbum Up in Flames a maturidade se apresenta de forma realmente impressionante, onde a banda caminha estreitamente com o Rock´n´Roll americano. Diferentemente dos primórdios onde o Oi! possuía uma passagem marcante, ou mesmo, nos últimos como Molotov onde a banda mostra-se com rumos mais orientados a agressividade sonora. Este não é o melhor, nem mesmo o pior, se é que Bruisers produziram algo ruim, mas considero clássico devido sua versatilidade. Esperamos que em breve Al Bar reúna a banda de forma definitiva!!!

Line up
•Vocals – Al Barr
•Guitar – Jeff Morris
•Guitar – Robert Garceau
•Bass – Ritchie
•Drums – Dan Connors

Tracks
1.All Messed Up
2.Fourty Miles

9.Chase The Wind
10.Bad Lands
11.Better Days
12.The End Of The Line


There are few bands that change their sound and able to maintain their genius. One of which was that aspect is certainly admire and many, many say, you miss is The Bruisers. The album Up in Flames maturity is presented in a really impressive, where the band walks closely with the American Rock'n'Roll. Unlike the early days where the Oi! had a remarkable passage, or even, as in the last Molotov where the band shows up with a more focused direction aggressive sound. This is not the best, not even the worst, if Bruisers produced something bad, but I consider classic because of versatility. We hope soon to meet the band Al Bar permanently!



Up in flames and down and out
That's where you find out what it's all about
We're the same they got both you and me
This road ain't easy street
You gotta make your own breaks
Or you're gonna get beat
And spend the rest of your life trying to find
Where you got lost

Go ahead try and break your chains
That's when you'll see that it's all a game
The deck is stacked and the won't let you win
On the street there's a neon sign
It say's take it easy boy cause it's the end of the line
It's a dead end street and it'll break a good man's will

Oh going up in flames
Oh going up in flames
Oh keep trying but it's all the same
Oh going up in flames

I just don't want to hang around
In the bars the streets or the slums in this town
This place is nowhere and that's just where you'll stay
You could say that you think I'm wrong
But you wouldn't last in these shoes for long
Trying to face a future that's going up in flames

Oh going up in flames
Oh going up in flames
Oh keep trying but it's all the same
Oh going up in flames
