VICIOUS RUMOURS - THE SICKEST MEN IN TOWN

LP - REPRESS

Second LP from this cult British oi!/street punk oufit, originally released on the legendary Link label in 1987.  Refining the high octane sound of their 1984 debut full length into something a bit more tuneful, this 12 track platter delivers a front to back dose of street savvy melodic oi! comparable to Stiff Little Fingers or Peter and the Test Tube Babies.  The late 80's was host to a bevvy of obscure, relatively out of time punk records containing a level of quality that belies their unsung stature.  Hopefully giving this Vicious Rumours album a US pressing for the first time will right that miscarriage of justice.
