White Rose - Ghosts of the Sidewalk 7" EP

Ive known about this band for yonks, and Ive already reviewed their War Machine album which is the bollocks, but they also released this 7" EP (one with the massive 45 hole in the middle...dont know why thats worth a mention, but it is) for charity. So Im reviewing, if you dont like...well honestly I dont give a fuck.
Alot of the time when I mention them people are like "are they racist?", the quick answer is No the long answer is "I dont listen to Racist music, so no". Their name comes from a bunch of students in Munich around the time of Hitlers rise to power who (along with their teacher) protested against him with leaflets and other such things. Anyway, they got rounded up and strung up for it.

Now, the 7" is two songs "Ghosts of the Sidewalk" and "Seed's of Destruction". Both great tracks. "Ghosts of the Sidewalk" is my favourite, its basically about homeless people and how we choose to ignore them when essentially is us whose put them into this position. The lyrics are brillaint the melody to this piece is really haunting (which I suppose is fitting), basically mad props to the guitarist for really making this piece. The lyrics are fucking exceptional too.

Get this brillaint little 7" from this awesome Hawiian Punk band. They're true Punk awesomeness in the vein of Against Me, Strike Anywhere, 7 Seconds and those other melodic Punk bands.
