Fatal blow - Live & Loud LP

The band FATAL BLOW was founded in 1986

in Workington in the county of Cumbria in northern England.

The band members had already gained musical experience before that - they played together in the Oi! band PUBLIC DISORDER

which disbanded in 1982.

FATAL BLOW's lyrics deal with current political issues

such as the unrest in Northern Ireland ("Ulster Is British"), immigration ("Valiant Warriors"),

skinheads who are still skinheads ("Pride of a Nation")

Their live set also included covers of the 4-Skins ("Wonderful World") and Brutal Attack (Return of St. George).

Fatal Blow was scheduled to appear on a compilation single

from White Noise Records, along with selected tracks from Skullhead (“Hang the IRA”), Vengeance (“Pride and Pain”) and Palazard,

to be released in January 1988, but this never happened.

Talk of an album was along the same lines.

Fatal Blow played their only gig on Friday 17 July 1987,

at the Imperial Hotel in their home town of Workington, supporting Condemned 84.

This rare recording is on this LP.

10 songs, limited to 250 copies, hand numbered, with insert containing the band's entire history and photos.
