It&#8217;s a typically upbeat anthem from the East End kings of streetpunk, with vocalist Colin imploring: \u201cMake today the greatest today, I wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?resize=640%2C451\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?resize=1024%2C722&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?resize=768%2C542&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?resize=1536%2C1083&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?w=2016&amp;ssl=1 2016w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cock-sparrer-10.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Cock Sparrer singer Colin McFaull.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Slackers<\/strong>, a ska-punk outfit from NYC, have released several records on the label this year, as well as having back-catalogue classics reissued.

Here we have <strong>Lost<\/strong>, a track from a 12in single released on UV digitally printed vinyl in the summer. Did I mention PP are also great innovators when it comes to releasing records in new and exciting forms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bishops Green<\/strong>, from Vancouver in Canada, have been building a name for themselves on the Oi! scene for a while now, and are rightly regarded as one of its modern heavyweights. <strong>Working Poor<\/strong> is a new song and one of the many highlights of this record. It has their trademark hard-as-nails guitar and vocals, and is hopefully a sign that they&#8217;re ready to add to their two fine albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Seized Up <\/strong>were formed in Santa Cruz, California, in early 2019 by Bl\u2019ast singer Clifford Dinsmore, Fast Asleep guitarist Danny B., Good Riddance bassist Chuck Platt and The Distillers drummer Andy Granelli.
