Ever since 1980, when THE 4-SKINS coughed up the self-contradictory lyrics “Just left school, you can’t find no work / Be a building labourer or an office clerk”, the UK Oi! scene’s always known what it wanted to be – BUILDING LABOURERS! The whole OFFICE CLERK side was pretty much neglected, which I always found a shame, especially for a movement keen on “keeping it real” – but then hanging round the Xerox machine wouldn’t have suited most of the bands’ over-exagerrated representations of “working classness” as one big riot of nightly fist-fights down the boozer. Still, Methodist Centre are here to redress the balance – and they’re fucking brilliant too!
