No, you really can't say that Gimp Fist have had a Losing Streak since they were founded in 2005, at least as far as their music and the band's success are concerned. However, the world out there doesn't seem to have a particularly bright future in these days of war, hatred, racism, social misery or the profit-hungry exploitation of our living space.
The 15 new songs on their 11th album Losing Streak are dedicated to this sad development in all its facets from the perspective of the English working class. "Who's gonna help to get this country right on track?" (Born and Raised), Losing Streak is bursting with passion, emotion and pure energy and is a bit faster than their last two records.
No breathing space, no beating around the bush, but rather a direct line to the wound of deceitful politics and its divided society: "Whatever happened to our community in today's society?" (Community), Resignation is not the answer.
The time has come to call things by their name, to stand up to the charlatans in power and to focus on our strengths: "Hey politicians, you devils in disguise, we won't stop until we see the whites in your eyes."
The band doesn't stop at their own scene either, with an aggressive declaration of war on the right wing community: "This is our scene and we're taking it back. The sound of the streets for white and for black" (Less English).
The rousing, old school UK skinhead rock'n'roll and streetpunk sound combined with top notch lyrics by Gimp Fist is authentic and convinces with every chord and every note.
Artwork is by bass player, Chris Wright.
