Radiation Records present a reissue of The Burial's A Day On The Town, originally released in 1989. 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, channeling 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, 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!
