Native Tongue/Ilsien Pajjiżi

BNI have their roots in this debut album. All the rawness and power that the band still sports today can be easily identified in this release. Lyrical content is a mix between anti-authoritarian statements and individual angst. Tracks are built around fast, harsh melodies which occasionally melt down to Ska and Reggae rhythms again picking up speed and giving off Metal undertones. Ilsien Pajjiżi / Native Tongue features the first ever Punk tracks in Maltese: Punk, L-Imġissem and Qrunha f’Butha.

Force Majeur

BNI’s second full-length album, which is a crossbreed between Old and New School Punk. Songwriting is fast, more polished and powerful, while most tracks contain sing-along tunes and choruses. Lyrical content is more focused on individual frustration but is also characterised by a positive slant. Ska and Reggae elements are ever-present, somehow or another, and melodies are faster, more intense and involving.

On And On...

Even with regards to artwork, this album breaks away from the usual rules. Tracks sound raw and have been recorded without too much attention to detail. On and On… gives away the band’s 3-piece live feel, and serves to show what the band sounds like on stage.
BNI’s fast-paced 2/4 beat remains at the forefront but Reggae and Ska remain present. Lyrical content is even more focused on the individual’s thoughts and alternates between the positive and negative aspects of life.
Each copy of this Cd album has a different cover artwork, and comes in a retro 7″ Cd Sleeve.
