Burial, The
A Day On The Town
Hailing from Britain's formerly industrial heartland of North Yorkshire, The Burial was a forward-facing ska-punk/oi band with a strong left orientation, channelling 2Tone, northern soul, punk, and folk influences. Rhythm guitarist Eric 'Barney' Barnes made sure the world knew these skinheads were antifascist and the use of a full horn section made their sole LP, 1989's 'A Day On The Town,' stand out. Unlike the Redskins, who soon moved to the student circuit, The Burial remained embedded in the working class communities from whence they came; this fine, often overlooked LP will be devoured by all fans of ska-punk and oi!
