Kortatu - The State of Things (LP, Album, RE)

Label: Oihuka

Kortatu's second album. They slow the surprising pace of their debut album a little, and the band delivers a sharper work, as eclectic as any in their career. "The Front Line," the song that opens the album, sounds like a powerful The Clash, but it would be far too simple to sum up this awesome work with that comparison. True combat punk. A key album for understanding the evolution of this great band.TRACKLISTSIDE A:01. The Front Line (04:01)02. The State of Things (03:25)03. Lumberjack (04:04)04.
