'BETTER LATE THAN NEVER' is the 6th album from Tokyo's oi! outlet RAISE A FLAG, which will be released later this month, on 20th November via BOOTSTOMP RECORDS. Get ready for it!
But before we jump to the release details, here's a quick background introduced by their front man:
RAISE A FLAG is a Japanese oi! band from Tokyo established in 1993.
They formed out of the influence and respect for the UK oi!, but also for the old, good Japanese oi! scene. They combined all those influences and have been active since in their own, unique style.
Even though the band has undergone numerous changes in their lineup, they continue to play to this day with the band's original member, Nobuhiro Ietomi (Vo) at the centre, without changing the style and without compromising their original, unique Japanese oi! sound.
The current line-up:
Nobuhiro Ietomi (Vo)
Hiroyuki Takaya (Gu)
Masao Sekiguchi (Ba)
TAVITO (Dr)
The release consists of 11 brand new songs, all of which have been newly written for this album.
The track list:
1. Rotten Country 2. That's For Life 3. Fearless Warriors 4. Rockin' In The Street 5. No War 6. Welcome To The Peaceful World 7. Keep Your Head Up 8. Go For A Pint 9. Kick Down The Walls 10. Stick To My Guns 11. Spirit of '93.
To sum up what the songs are about, the boys said: "Even if you're worried, you should keep going, even if it's slow. It's definitely better to keep going. We wanted to release this album to reach out to all those, who struggle with this issue."
Release date: 20th November 2024.
