Keep On Keeping On

 


The world is changing faster and faster for the worse. Real wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, trade wars with China, a global arms race, the economy is in tatters, the cost of living is rising, healthcare systems are ailing and more and more people are losing their jobs, to name just a few things that are not going right. To be honest, I don't have any final solutions to offer either, but everything reminds me of the time 40 years ago when we faced similar problems.

At that time, a left-wing and ecologically orientated policy seemed to be the right way forward. It was precisely at this time that The Redskins came into the limelight with their first album. A buch of far left wing skinheads with a Trotskyist background that brought us only one album but a lot of powerful, catchy and danceable tunes mixing soul, rockabilly and punk to a unique sound.

They didn't changed the world but they let us dance and gave us hope for better days.



And as a bonus a footage of their last gig in Munich.
