One for those mourning the demise of The Macc Lads. If the laughably phallic sleeve art doesn’t drop heavy hints that Boned are/were a metal-tinged pub-rock outfit, then love-pump-lickin’ titles such as “Loaded On Love” and the delightful “Ain’t No Talkin’ With Your Mouth Full” (ahem) ram the point home. Fancy some delightful, Latin-inspired reinventions of classic Kraftwerk numbers from the 70s and 80s, such as “Showroom Dummies (Cha-Cha-Cha)” and “Autobahn (Cumbia Merengue),” as performed by what appears to be the cruise ship cabaret band from hell?

Decades later, its double entendre potential remains boundless. This innuendo-laden funk-soul monstrosity came straight outta Detroit in 1977. In mitigation, Boxer’s Ollie Halsall (aka Ollie Haircut) was also in ace pop parodists The Rutles. Thanks to good maneuverability and a top speed of 50 km/h, the TL-1 LPC can easily change flanks and take up key positions as it’ll reach them faster than other vehicles.Ever wondered why punk needed to happen? Look no further than the sleeve of this 1975 album, which – even by the standards of those less-than-PC times – beggars belief.Its alpha damage is not the best for its tier (280 points), but it’s enough to seriously hurt opponents.You can rely on the accuracy and DPM of its well-balanced gun, even on the move, allowing you to support your team as a proper flanker from the second line of fire.The TL-1 LPC has well-sloped frontal armor and can withstand some direct fire.Just like most American tanks, it has a solid bouncy turret, allowing you to take advantage of the terrain and easily ricochet enemy’s rounds.Let’s take a closer look at this rock star, destined for mid-to-close combat. This versatile vehicle with a fast-firing, accurate gun lets you make your presence known on any map. This is precisely the case with the TL-1 LPC, a Tier VIII Premium American medium tank.
