Rousing oi from Brooklyn with a black frontman, a ton of shambolic energy, and thoughtful political lyrics. Side A is about how courts force plea bargains on underprivileged defendants, bypassing the right to a fair trial. The B-Side is a 1-2 punch to the face of plastic consumer culture. All too often, street punk can have a tedious, conservative, check-all-the-boxes feel. 45 Adapters break this stereotype by bringing heartfelt energy and a genuine perspective to the table. –Chris Terry (Pirates Press)
