The Pinkerton Thugs have a name and working class formula that's been heralded in the local scene and fast approaching the leaders of the latest wave of traditionally inspired Hard-Core Punk and Oi! "End of an Era" has little to do with such in the literal sense but thematically it severs ties with the usual glut of corporate hypocrisy and blind ambition-and gluttony-and this old way of doing things… Nothing new there, for the foundation of Punk music has and always will be bred from the notion of inequality, hardships and attitude problems. And with a taken by force attitude and smoking barrels, The Thugs' fire off a series of rounds being in every direction where pride and progress are effectively stunted.

With the barroom brashness of fellow Northeastern faves Dropkick Murphy's and the Olde English force of the Anti-Heroes themselves, "End of an Era" signals a new beginning for a growing legion of rebel youth dumb enough to own self-inflicted mental wounds and upstart opinions that fly in the face of complacency and misguided governmental discharge. War anyone?
