[OI!] Say what you will about Business-man Mickey Fitz and his tireless dedication to beating his legendary oi! outfit’s three great songs to death for three-plus decades, but dare not question the man’s unshakable faith in his band. It takes some crazy confidence in one’s headlining abilities to invite an upstart act as vimful and vigorous as the Downtown Struts to warm up a full house. There’s more than a little bit of the Business’ blood in this Chicago band’s roughhousing sound, but it’s been thickened by repeated exposure to latter-day bar brawlers like Swingin’ Utters and Dropkick Murphys. So go for the party and stay for the wake.
