Dirty Clubs and Gritty Demos, Vol 29 - The Have Nots


Ska chords were designed to make you move. They grab your attention and carry you along whether you you want to or not. And punk was designed to provide the a voice to the typically voiceless. The Have Nots have manipulated these two genres to their advantage in voicing their critique on modern consumer society in their album Serf City USA. In the vein of the Clash, Op Ivy, and Rancid, the Have Nots translate their beliefs through passionate three minute bursts. They have stripped down music to a way of life and not a way to make a living. It takes it back to small clubs and bars playing to a crowd of like-minded punks.

This record is a promising debut with great moments of mic distortion, guttural vocals, and the select instances of harmony.


Serf City USA is available for free download over at Paper + Plastic Records, just click here. You have nothing to lose and a social conscious to gain.

The guy on the left looks a little like Johnny Cash. & the guy flipping the bird reminds me of that famous photograph of Johnny doing that same thing!
