The Bruisers were pioneers of the American streetpunk/oi! movement, formed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1988. The original lineup included: Al Barr (vocals, now the lead singer of the Boston Punk band Dropkick Murphys), Scotty Davies (bass), Jeff Morris (guitar) and Rodger Shosa (drums). Morris is now a guitarist and lead vocalist for Death & Taxes, and a former guitarist for Mark Lind & the Unloved. Former guitarist Rick Wimert died in the mid-1990s.
The first band members were skinheads (although not white power skinheads). After a few years and lineup changes, the band and their style changed slightly. By 1996, Al Barr was the only remaining original member of The Bruisers. One notable release by the band was a 7" split with Barr's future band Dropkick Murphys in 1997. After 10 years, the band broke up in 1998. The Bruisers had a reunion concert on September 14, 2005 at The Roxy in Boston. The bill included local acts The Ducky Boys and Tommy & The Terrors, as well as The Casualties from New York City. The Bruisers played a second reunion show on August 31, 2012 headlining the first night of the 2000 Tons of TNT Fest at the Webster Theater in Hartford, CT.

Lyrics: Drinking a Familiar ale As I listen to a tale Of a friendship that was won and lost A long time ago And I just can't pretend That it doesn't hurt at all You'll never see the Day That I walk away I'll never turn my back on you No fear good friends Brothers till the end That's what we said so long ago No fear good friends Brothers till the end Means more to me than you will ever know Do you ever think back To the nights we swore it would last You turned your back you lost your way Forever that's what we said Those dreams we had some are coming true But I've done it all in spite of you Till the end that's what we said But where are you now No fear good friends Brothers till the end That's what we said so long ago No fear good friends Brothers till th...

I was living on the edge of a knife
I was my biggest threat to my life
I can't believe it when I look back now
Always seemed to make it through somehow
Some money in my pocket and leaving on my mind
I've tried to leave those skeletons behind
Those rattling bones wake me in the night
Got to find a way to put things right
Driving all nigh but I'm not there
Sign on the road says I'm going nowhere
I ask myself what have you got to lose
2 Fists full of nothing-which one do you choose
If I keep on driving till the darkness fades
Will it take some of this guilt away
A new day's rising and nothings changed
On the highway of life in the breakdown lane
I feel it inside just like a burning flame
The eyes in the mirror show nothing but pain
How long can one mans bad luck last
And can you really out run your past
I feel it inside just like a burning flame
The eyes in the mirror show nothing but pain
How long can one mans bad luck last
And can you really out run your past
Driving all nigh but I'm not there
Sign on the road says I'm going nowhere
I ask myself what have you got to lose
2 Fists full of nothing-which one do you choose
