about
"Unlike Nike or Reebocks which are pirated because they are expensive, it looks like Goldstar's copy-cats want a slice of the pie that the shoe has carved for itself in Nepal's domestic market because of its low price. It is a functional, no-frills shoe that is worn by everyone from peons to managers, from underground rebels to civil servants across Nepal". - The Nepali Times, April 2005
During Nepal's 10 year civil war people were harassedor tortured as suspect Maoist rebels for wearing Goldstar shoes. As we walk around Kathmandu now, it's as if everyone's forgotten those days. We wrote this song to remember that freedom comes with a price. In the streets now the only memory of this war is Goldstar shoes. Wear them freely while you can.

lyrics
गोल्डस्टार जुत्ता सुन्दर र सक्कली छ,
गोल्डस्टार जुत्ता लडाकुको जुत्ता
सद्धै एक पाईला अगाडि
हे हे पैसा सैसा छैन तर खुट्टा मा छ गोल्डस्टार
हे हे स्केट बोर्डिङ मा पनि चल्छ मेरो गोल्डस्टार
हे हे मेड ईन नेपाल भन्छ हो कि होइन थाहा छैन
हे हे छैन मेरो काम अनी सस्तो एस्को दाम
हे हे केटा होस् या केटी होस् एस्लाई केही बाल छैन
हे हे फाट्टे को पाईन्ट मा पनि एकदम दामी देख्छ गोल्डस्टार
मेरो गोल्डस्टार सुन्दर र सक्कली छ , मेरो गोल्डस्टार लडाकु को जुत्ता
गोल्डस्टार जुत्ता लडाकुको जुत्ता
सद्धै एक पाईला अगाडि
हे हे पैसा सैसा छैन तर खुट्टा मा छ गोल्डस्टार
हे हे स्केट बोर्डिङ मा पनि चल्छ मेरो गोल्डस्टार
हे हे मेड ईन नेपाल भन्छ हो कि होइन थाहा छैन
हे हे छैन मेरो काम अनी सस्तो एस्को दाम
हे हे केटा होस् या केटी होस् एस्लाई केही बाल छैन
हे हे फाट्टे को पाईन्ट मा पनि एकदम दामी देख्छ गोल्डस्टार
मेरो गोल्डस्टार सुन्दर र सक्कली छ , मेरो गोल्डस्टार लडाकु को जुत्ता

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know
