Black Radio / The Ruling Class – Split 7″

Bootleg Booze is good at setting up these knock ’em down match-ups over the course of a split-single, this time pitting English trucker cap rockers Black Radio against Swedish trash speedrock quartet The Ruling Class. I hate to sit on the fence with this (it gives you splinters in the arse) but it really is a dishonorable draw. The Ruling Class have a frenetic balls-out relentlessness that’s every bit as intense as the dirty runaway steamroller that Black Radio set in motion. It’s an exhausting trip but if you’re into the Eurotrash stash peddled by, say The Backyard Babies, this will sit well on your turntable.
