Album Review: Let’s Wrestle - ‘In the Court of the Wrestling Let’s’

Let's Wrestle - 'In the Court of the Wrestling Let's' (Full Time Hobby)

This reissue of Let’s Wrestle’s debut album has been repackaged with an extra CD of hard to find early singles and EPs. It’s a ramshackle affair that combines elements of the Oi! punk genre with sardonic social commentary on such things as going to the local job centre and making a cup of tea – reminiscent of Splodgenessabound’s hit Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please. On one level this is a bunch of loveable wide boys making throwaway instant tunes. But there’s also a prolific song writing talent here on an album filled with infectious pop ditties that mostly stay the right side of annoying and would almost certainly go down better live.
