Q: What's Harder Than Concrete? A: Concrete's Video for "Strike The Rat Down"

Go ahead, we dare you to find a tougher video than this.

Here is a wild music video by director Saman Ghanbar from Austin’s premier Oi! inspired beatdown hardcore band, Concrete (members of Glue, Breakout). Write a list of everything you want to see in a tough hardcore video and "Strike the Rat Down" has it: home invasions in ski masks, sledge hammers, bandanas over the face, 2x4s, cinder blocks through glass doors, fist fights, spray-painted walls, throwing a kid through a wall, even playing a show in the living room. There is literally nothing more that you could ask for. LOL Xibalba, your move.

The track will appear along with another original song and a cover of The Kids on the forthcoming Oi Ain’t Dead Vol. 4: This is Brickwall Oi! on Rebellion Records out of the Netherlands. It will also appear on their debut LP, out later this year on the same label.
