I had been thinking already been thinking that The
Black Tubes reminded me of The Clash before I heard the "Oi".
That doesn't exactly explain it right. There are a
lot of Clash songs that cover a wider range than the five tracks I was able to
find for The Black Tubes. Thinking about it further, they reminded me of
Magazine as well. Together that puts us in England (The Black Tubes are from
Brighton), with both early punk and post punk, but giving us a time period that
it was perfectly reasonable to greet with an "Oi!" It was good to
hear.
I only really heard that chorus on "PDA (Public
Displays Of Affection)", but it worked. It went with the sentiments and
the guitar playing and the sound.
They're a young band, but they have learned some
things from the past, and they can carry that forward in a good way.
Wishing them well.
