REPOST Request: Along with the Discords as first per comment, here is what Brian Guy wrote when he first posted this: Okay despite the name sounding a bit German this band is actually from Notre Dame de Grace, which is in the West end Of Montreal, Quebec. According to what I have found on line and what the back of this seven inch says this was one of the first skinhead bands in Canada, I don't know if that is true or not, maybe someone can let me know.
What we have here is two songs "Drunken Skinhead," which is a take off of the song "Drunken Sailor," and a live recording of "N.D.G.," which is about their hometown. "N.D.G." is a slower ballad type of a song, reminds me of what The Dropkick Murphy's would do many years later.
This was recorded in 1985, and was released in 1998 on the Blind Beggar label.
A very good listen.
Enjoy,
Brian Guy

The very first Skinhead band n all of Canada was the Discords, from the West end of NDG also. Both bands definitely knew each other. Gassenhauer came a few years after the Discords. I elieve they are the first two oi/skinhead bands in Canada. Discords first released a 45 in 1982 but were around long enough before that to possibly lay a legitimate claim to being the first north American oi band. I grew up in NDG at that time. It was definitely home to a strong concentration of skinheads in the very early days.
