The Class Assassins - The Addiction

From the "The Addiction & The Solution" digital single released in 2013 by Rebel Time Records

I know just what I want/ It's a world of peace and a world of love/ But it's so hard to believe in what this world has become/ Some of us will cope where others fail/While all the bankers get out, they get out on bail/ A soldier sets out to war/What's he really fighting for?/Build the rockets, line the pockets/ For the next generation of the money whores/ Hang on to hope to no avail/ Hang on to everything because it's all up for sale/ Well you know what's right & you know what's wrong/ So tell me what is going on?/Well you know what's right and you know what's wrong/So tell me what is going on/ It's the addiction & it don't belong/ So tell me what's been going on/ Hold the power, harness the greed/ Wealth will come from growing the seed/ Build the rockets, line your pockets for the distribution of the chicken feed/ Hang on to hope to no avail/ Hang onto everything because it's all up for sale/

Review from Oi Oi Magazine:

The Class Assassins from Canada have been away for a while but after a period of silence the band reformed a few years ago. I always liked their music, but since they reformed i became really enthusiastic about them
The potential of this band is huge. They come from a streetpunk background with a blue colour attitude but they added a melodic rock'n'roll edge to their music which reminds me to bands as Social Distortion or Reno Divorce. I think even people who are into bands like Strike Anywhere, Rise Against or Propagandhi will appreciate this band.
Earlier this year the band recorded two songs to gain some attention and to show the people they are still here. The first song is called The Addiction and shows the regular Class Assassins ingredients: clean vocals with a raw edge, sing-along chorusses, while the guitar sounds like a streetpunked version of Social Distortion.
The other, The Solution, song is quite amazing. It clocks over 9 minutes and i can't remember i heard a punk song of this length which didn't bore me at all! Honestly it took me a few listenings to realise it's such a long song.
Even though i mentioned the band name Social Distortion a few times, The Class Assassins certainly don't sound like a copycat or dime a dozen, on the contrary!
