An unequivocal title gives way to an unrelenting sound! {|The Last Resort|}'s debut album might have kicked off with a wall of noise lifted straight from {|Black Sabbath|}'s {|War Pigs|} ({|Freedom|}), but skill {|Skinhead Anthems|} does exactly what it says on the tin, ripping a dozen self-composed monsters out of the band's set list and nailing them to the studio with brutal disdain for any of the niceties. Certainly the band's influences are loud on their sleeves -- {|Sham|} and the {|Cockney Rejects|} hang heavy over the proceedings. But {|Last Resort|}'s refusal to lose their own instincts within the trappings of sociology and relevance conquer all; {|Skinheads in Sta-Press,|} {|Rebels with a Cause,|} and {|Resort Boot Boys|} speak to the very heart of the skinhead movement, and if it all sounds a little dated today, then that's your look-out. [A 20-track version of the CD was also released.] ~ Dave Thompson Less
