  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    After Battalion Zośka’s self-titled release in 2019, the band had a lineup change that brought long time producer and engineer Arik Victor on guitar, as well as Steve Vaiani on the drums. The new lineup wasted no time in writing and recording new songs for their sophomore effort “New Blood”.

    Battalion Zośka’s newest album “New Blood” contains 16 blistering soon to be punk classics. The band intentionally tries to capture the sound and spirit of 70’s & 80’s punk and hardcore while trying to sound fresh and new.

    “New Blood” features guest appearances by many punk superstars. Dez Cadena (Black Flag/ Misfits) added guitar on the tracks “Everyday’s The Same”, “Kids”, “Thick In The Head” & “Tried & Failed” which gave these songs a sonic style that only Dez Cadena could provide. Ian Woodcock and Brian Chevette, members of legendary punk band Eater, provide guitar and bass on the cover track “Outside View”. Also appearing are Fish (Skeptix/ Discharge) on the tracks “Warszawa” & “Kiss the Ring” as well as Neil “Newts” Newton of the Angelic Upstarts and vocals by Peter Cornter (Dag Nasty/ Field Day).

    This will be released on 12" vinyl in October.

    Includes unlimited streaming of New Blood via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Your pedigree has no thunder, a Johnny that came to late A legend in your own mind, now I'm here to clean your plate No one else cares what's important to you, as your jealousy consists An egotist to your art, when no one really gives a shit The infection is here, it's envy takes control A pratt to be identified, baited by a troll Rotting smiles are toxic, is competition the appeal? A contagious emotion, taste the infection, it's real. While your liver was thirsty, And you were nodding out. I proved I had talent, and I'm here to drown you out. Pick apart my issues, as you can clearly deny Cause life fucked you hard, because you never really tried.

Sadness in their eyes. There's no escape, left here to die Overcrowding, made to live in filth.Institution built on abuse Down, down, a wicked spiral Down, down , you lost control Down, down, loved ones abandoned How we got here no one knows How long, must they wait? Loneliness seals their fate. Mysterious deaths, societies failed. Corrupt system needs derailed. Down, down, a wicked spiral Down, down , you lost control Down, down, loved ones abandoned How we got here no one knows Every days the same, Every days the same Cries of the insane. Humane restraints Every days the same Is this treatment? Do they feel pain? Human dignity, reduced to shame. Peeling plaster from the walls. Life of neglect haunt these halls.

A clenched fist slapped upside the head Awaken to the world again Repetitive analysis injected abuse Past mistakes reproduced Trauma buried inside the mind Unsolved issues so unkind Like splitting stitches from the seam Wake up to a reocurring dream Reveal the hidden truths Step inside the circle, it depends on you Patterns come from every kind Lost in an abyss that goes on inside the mind Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up! Unresolved personal conflicts Reminder of tragic events Chasing a world that's so intense And running away is the only defense Sweating, exasperating, overwhelmed Another flashback, here it comes Impulses let out a scream As you wake up to a reoccurring dream

Kids 03:16
Go! Built up Tension, Kicking up a racket There's no future, when there's a burning inside Unleash this fury, let go of the rage It's all coming down. Now act your age. The kids just want a chance The kids just want a chance... a chance Cause the kids just want a chance Youth and innocence, anger's justified Absorbed into the system, until the day they die Cracks in the structure, no motivation Teenage alienation, becomes adult isolation Everything is futile Expectations fill your brain Accused of subversive tensions Pressured to be the same, the same, the same

Warszawa 01:36
Burning fragments of mortar, raining from the sky Take cover in the rubble, the struggle to survive Five years of occupation, Godzina W is upon us know Living through this horror, the atrocities are all around No matter your status, whatever your kin A city is razed, a fight to the end A city on fire, a city in flames Ashes to ashes to the earth from which you came Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of Warszawa, Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of the dead, Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of Warszawa, Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of the dead, Shell Shocked in ruins, insurgents on the street Combat through sewer drains as petrol burns with heat Sadistic reign of terror, beast of devil's spawn Haunted memories forever, purge the evil that is wrong No matter your status, whatever your kin A city is razed, a fight to the end A city on fire, a city in flames Ashes to ashes to the earth from which you came Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of Warszawa, Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of the dead, Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of Warszawa, Warszawa, Warszawa, in the spirit of the dead,

Sucked into a vortex (Slipping Away) Purge the unbelievers (Slipping Away) Sowing the seeds of doubt (Slipping Away) Refuse to acknowledge there is no other way Denying an outcome (Slipping Away) Absolute power (Slipping Away) Retreating to a bunker (Slipping Away) Lost visions of tomorrow were crushed today You believe your lies, a tyrant in disguise We will not succumb. Our tolerance is numb.

A public cesspool, another night of getting pissed Knackered nutters, get you're pockets picked An excuse to be an asshole, kind regards of talking shit Falling over backwards, arse over tit A tosser, a wanker to you it's all a agme Excessive indulgence is the reason you came Gobbing from the mouth with the usual tosh It's a rite of passage, now just bugger off Searching for nothing and you'll find Greetings from Blackpool Saturated intoxicated minds Searching for nothing and you'll find Greetings from Blackpool Consume and impair until your blind Vomit lined streets. Do a runner from a shop. Out running the coppers, no fear of getting caught Chatting up the birds, treating them like slags Blacked out piss yourself, out for a shag Get ready for a punch up, get ready for a fight The smell of confrontation is forever in your sight Two fingers is unAmerican, I can't understand I'm a daft utter twat, bloody yank in your land

Blank Stare 03:18
Rudely awaken to the boredom inside Ignited a spark, gut check cut and dried Ripped up torn apart, rotten to the core Assault on the masses like ther never was before Controversy surrounds the honest feelings that are content Branded as the enemy, public image breeds contempt Dirty bastard, cheeky smile, fixture of those eyes Breathing in new life, like a wire that's alive It's rotten all around, Eyes fixated on you. It's rotten all around. It's Rotten All around. Blank stare looking at you. It's rotten all around ,,,, You! Easier to know your place, not interested in your views. Shut your mouth, cover your ears, be careful what you hear. The world has never been same, it's a razor slashed right through Like changing of the guard, the difference in me and you Humor me, I'm not amused, not easily impressed Questions deserve no reply, you never will contest No apologies or kind regards for just being who you are. Show society the markings and the scars. The world forever changed with your blank stare Hypnotize the masses with your blank stare Upended the world with a blank stare Gave birth to a movement with your blank stare Accused of treason, it's a crime to speak you'r mind Undercover for obscenities, bollocks will do you time Blacked out in the charts, they maneuver what you do Bad imitations resort to sniffing glue Onslaught against the industry, you chewed and spit them out. Fingers to them as they learned what your all about Get the feeling you've been cheated, years of smeared distain Shame of rock and roll, it's only a piss stain.

Bad Things 02:40
Guards Up! No one likes us. No one likes us. No one likes us. We don't care. No one likes us. No one likes us. No one likes us. We don't care. It's a part of our culture, it's in our DNA. We're as real as it fuckin' gets. don't get in our way. Hard nosed, kicked around, brash and in your face. We live up to our image because we love this place. Got a chip on our shoulder, it's us against the world. Cop us some attitude, our visions never blurred. Freedom rings in our hearts, like the crack in the Liberty Bell. Forever bleeding green, to this city that we dwell. Blunt and loud. Pissed and proud. We won't get kicked around. Our perception ain't tarnished, it's just we're so profound. Speak the truth, won't back down. Balboa in our veins. Won't tolerate your vicious lies, in the gutter you'll be drained. Bad Things, Bad Things, Bad Things. Always laying in the shadows to the rotten apple of the north.

Outside View 02:08
I'm standing out in the street As I turned the page that's when there was an outside view! There's a television standing on the floor And I complain to Spoons see I hate another Saturday night I wanna come in cos I've got the blues All and all this stuff this is an outside view Oh, I'm running around Oh, got my feet on the ground Oh, you hear up again? Nothing to do, there ain't nothing to gain, na! I can't cancel all on sad one school night Said another girl a difference to me It's such a better coming round and run another view I wanna stay out here with the outside view. Oh! Oh, I'm running around Oh, got my feet on the ground Oh, you hear up again? Nothing to do, there ain't nothing to gain, na! Aahhhh!

New Blood 03:16
Launch a new offensive As the enemy's insight Feeding of the danger C'mon bastards bring the fight Backed us into a corner Cast us like a plague A new day upon us Combative instincts are engaged Imminent retreat, starring down defeat Intensifies with heat, we shall carry on Altered state, mobilize to replace No warnings graced, we'll keep soldiering on With new blood! No perception to see it through Out with the old, bring in the new Another lot recruited And we shall carry on As the storm clears Again ready to attack A void into the unknown We shall carry on
12.
I can't embrace you as you're today's emulation Another cheap product imitation Elitist and entitled, you're a poor misfortune Teenage angst with no real warning A couple of chords now you've learned how to play You enjoyed the Rebellion you weren't here to stay What's fashionable and popular, just attracting increase support Like the chemical intoxicants you could never abort Blown out like the wind You were never in Tell me why I should care Life isn't fair Tried and failed on a two year career Dictating how I think and what I should hear Time got nicked as you cry misfortune Artistic expression through public extortion Not a part of '77 or '82 Society doesn't need another knob like you Quibble around, so easily offended Simulated noise, but it's never authentic Inherited arrogance, you've been mistreated No apologies cause you're brash and conceited Contribute to yourself and you're aspirations You can fuck right off! I see through you!
13.
Hates been brewing, far too long The victim card, we done them wrong Chauvinistic morons, sexist cunts Dumb as rocks, they like to cause a ruck So thick in the head Conspiracies' been fed Deranged rebels follow their laws Idiocracy has a cause Ideological nightmare, fucked in the head Subhuman thinking, Neanderthal bred. So whatcha p[roud of? Stupidity? A closet case for the world to see So thick in the head Conspiracies' been fed Disease must be expelled Inside they hate themselves
14.
An Alliance like we never seen It's a culture war we won't accept As we face the dragon straight in the eyes It's our duty we must hit direct Bend over bitches and kiss the ring here's two fingers stick 'em in Cowards multiply won't stand up and fight Absent in callings to do what's right Backlash for what they defy Autocrats are criminals disguised No Morals, No Values, on bended knee they approach the throne Your majesty they will be cloned Bitches, devotees, lackeys, identical in shame Cowards, servants, varlets, uniformly the same
15.
So Fine 01:48
Drawn in by your eyes Mesmerized by your smile Jet black hair cropped so short The goddess and Queen of style Ever since I saw So Sexist I wanted you to be mine Ever first I first saw you Jeanna your so fine In my mind I called it love Ever see a dream walking Glued to you forever An obsession of total lust Dominate me
16.
Poison River 02:51
A source of death that man created Industrialism spreads contamination Dumping grounds for sewage and waste The impact leads to climate change Poison river runs blood red Caution at your own risking death Poisoned river runs blood red Unaware what potential harm has been spread Water not fit for human consumption Endure the stench of toxic runoffs Chemicals seep into the skin As cancer is spreading from within To live and die in a poisoned river Live and die in a poison river
