The first German skinhead disc!

Rock-O-Rama then slipped in the mid-80 deep into the rock right Swamp, but in Cologne in 1982, the world was still in order.

The Allies have with "glory and honor" a fairly official early Oi! Disc gerotzt in the world. And while label boss Herbert Egold again highly even the buttons turned in the studio, a sound disaster remained as Chaos Z, Brutal Moldy or Stosstrupp of time.

Hart and just pop the songs of Wuppertal bald from the speakers. And provided afterwards for a lot of confusion in the camp of the skins, the Allies positioned but clearly anti-racist ("blind hatred"). That was rather unusual at the skinheads of the early 80s. Right ideology ruled the scene. And bands like amplifier, Skredriver or Onkelz delivered a short time later the soundtrack. In the early 90s there were movements such as SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) or RASH (Red And Anarchst skinheads). But that was in 1982 still a long way and actually almost unthinkable.

Nevertheless was "glory and honor" a small success in the punk scene and skin. Called for especially in "Skins & Punx" the solidarity of the then warring factions. And to this day the disc sounds actually quite cool. Typical 80s sound with standard texts on the scene, against state and police. A forgotten genre classics.

For those in a skinhead fanzine criticized, too "liberal" texts recorded the way the guitarist Caspar responsible. At that time still an unknown quantity. Later, under his full name by Caspar Brötzmann massacre came to fame. Caspar also worked with FM Einheit or Page Hamilton (Helmet), and took with them on plates.

"Glory" is a record that should be in every well-stocked German punk collection, whether in the original ROR LP pressure from 1982, the ROR CD 1992 or 1999's Repress to shock & Drama Records.
