Well you like the reggae and you love to dance the ska
you like your tonic suits and your polished up Vespa
You like a pint of lager down the pub with all your mates
but when it comes to violence, you always hesitate
Scared you’ll get a black eye or a busted lip
scared you’ll stain your Harrington, your Sherman will get ripped
Scared to scuff them boots after the polishin’ ya done
so you turn upon your heels and you start to run
Chorus:
This ain’t for you – in it for the fashion
This ain’t for you – scared of a little action
This ain’t for you – rather run than fight
This ain’t for you – THAT’S RIGHT!
Well you like Oi! music and you like to go to shows
you like to dress the part and assume a tough guy pose
When they sing of violence, you always sing along
but if it ever kicks off, you think it’s fucking wrong
Scared of the violence when it starts to get real
rather talk about peace and the way that you feel
Number one crop, acting like a hippie
when real skinheads fuck you up, they don’t feel pity
Travis HCS:
You like to play the part in how you talk and how you dress
But when it’s time to live your life, you’re nothing but a mess
You treat a way of life like a fucking college class
And that’s why all the droogies want to beat your poser ass
You don’t have a scratch or bruise, it’s just a game you play
‘Cause when we fight you seem to choose to run the other way
We knew you never had it in you from the very start
Your laces and your braces should be yellow like your heart
You’ve mastered all the scene clichés and making empty threats
And unleashing the aggro when you’re on the internet
To be a skin takes more than just a fucking Google search
And cutting off your hair and buying up a bunch of merch
You’re good at chatting up the chicks and drinking at the bar
Your British terminologies are really up to par
We all gotta wonder how you made it this far
A hipster with a haircut is what you really are
Hanging out with real skins must be a lot of fun
But every time it’s going down, you turn your tail and run
When it’s time for violence, you’re shaking in your socks
You better trade your boots in for a pair of Birkenstocks
You just want the title, you don’t want to pay the dues
You want to wear the clothes and fuck the girls and drink the booze
Is this what you envisioned when you think of skins
A social click of silly kids and fashion mannequins!

So Im not sure how this band got past me,but Im glad I finally took a peak at how they sound. Great Oi/ Punk from another top notch Boston band. Harsh and angry ( in all the besy ways) this band knocks it outta the park. The price for this offering and the " Tape 2" make picking up The Stance's stuff a no-brainer. File this im Badass Boston Oi to wreck shit by!" East Bay Working Class
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016

I'm not sure what they put in the water in the state of PA.,but whatever it is produces tough as nails Oi. Boot Rally has that great gruff American Oi sound that I love. Its a soundtrack for a 40 hour week-- or for breaking a bottle over some mouthy prick's head. East Bay Working Class
