about

Before there was THE GENERATORS; and even before major-label punk-rockers SCHLEPROCK, there was DOUG & THE SLUGZ. Formed in 1983 by Doug ‘Dagger’ Kane, the charismatic front man of all of the above-mentioned bands, DATS were without a doubt one of America’s first Oi! bands around, certainly on the West Coast. The original existence of the band was short-lived and in 1984 the name changed to THE RISK and by late 1985 the existence of DOUG & THE SLUGZ was only a memory and some songs on a demo tape. In the aftermath of the band’s demise, guitar player Scotty Graham unfortunately hit some hard times and eventually became a guest of the state doing a tour of his own around California prisons. Then in a serendipitous moment 30 years later, paths were crossed and old friendships rekindled and the healing began as the old group of friends got a guitar back into Scott’s hands and the songs came back like no time had passed. Since 2015 the next chapter has begun and this is the real-life story of redemption and brotherhood and how rock’n’roll truly did save a soul…. ‘Boots, Braces & A Bad Attitude’ is a combination of some of the very first DATS songs resurrected and re-recorded, and some of the newest songs that remain true to their roots without missing a beat since those halcyon days in the mid-80’s.

Incredible Oi from a who's who of great Punk and Oi groups.;7 I hope this band is a permanent project or the full-time band for the members involved. It's hitting on all cylinders- the lyrics are thoughtful and perfect for group sing along with the band. Definitely a 1 in 100 band--- by that I mean 99 other bands could try to attempt what the Chartbusters are doing and they would fall flat on their asses. Track 11 is the rally cry folks---- it's okay to have pride...in ones self,their family,their country,and their heritage without it being considered fascist,racist,or an act of war. Chartbusters---- more please! East Bay Working Class
