Made up of Boston hardcore scenesters, Battle Ruins put out one of the best Oi! releases of 2014 with their eponymous record for the Rock 'n' Roll Disgrace label. The group blends a traditional, hard-edged sound with early NWOBHM influences. It's as if a heavy metal band on Neat Records circa 1980 decided to write gruff, anthemic bootboys stompers ...
Crown Court is a new band from London that recently released a three-song demo, and have a 7" coming out on Rebellion Records. I forwarded one of their songs to an old skin friend of mine that detests any Oi! not made in the '80s, and he paid them the highest compliment: "These guys have it." They sure do, mixing a proto-Oi! vibe of bands like Mena...
A fairly new band, Duffy's Cuthail from Philly. Their sound mixes soul/R&B grooves with a hard mod vibe and Oi! attitude. Purists will probably find fault with this approach, but I think Oi! music can take on different influences from the rock 'n' roll canon and skillfully layer them piecemeal, while building a cohesive sound that does not dilute t...
Seems like the best new American Oi! bands are coming from the Midwest these days, and Minneapolis outfit Victoryare no exception. Maybe there's something about the middle of the country's wide open spaces and D.I.Y. attitude that lends itself to Oi!'s prototypical sound, where sing-along choruses, lyrics stressing self-sufficiency, and pride in on...
There is a long history of Oi! bands singing in Spanish, and Valencia's Join the Rejectscontinue that tradition. Their name, coming from a Cockney Rejects song, hints at the sound: loud, snotty tunes with massive backup gang vocals and a defiant attitude. You don't need to understand the language in order to join them in rejecting all that's safe a...
Veterans of several San Francisco Oi! and punk outfits got together in 2013 to form Suede Razors. Their mission was to create something new in Oi! that reflects their varied influences. Suede Razors are not afraid to inject bonafide pop hooks into their blend of '70s pub rock and glam bootboy jams crossed with a dirty rock 'n' roll swagger, à la Ro...
Reckless Aggression's demo came out in 2010, and these Australians have long since broken up, but damn if this isn't a pure aggro, no holds barred, violent mix of Combat 84 and Negative Approach. Some of the songs veer into fast hardcore tempos, which is totally apropos as Oi! was a huge influence on Negative Approach's aggressive sonic fury, which...
NYC Oi! diehards, and veterans of tons of other bands, the men of 45 Adaptersstarted the group in 2009, and have gone from strength to strength with each subsequent release; taking a cue from the mod revival bands, R&B, soul, and the British Invasion bands of the '60s. Lyrically, 45 Adapters stray away from stereotypical skinhead topics, focusing i...
Sometimes you don't have to reinvent the wheel once it comes down to writing a solid Oi! stomper. Hard Evidence, a new band from St. Louis, Missouri, exemplify this seminal sound. Their Last One StandingLP from 2014 is full of chunky guitar riffs, raspy yet tuneful vocals, and anthemic choruses that go on for days. They're a killer band from the Mi...
Sydney Ducksis another stellar U.S. band, which is funny because I always preferred British Oi! bands over American ones, but there seems to be no shortage of great homegrown bands these days. This San Franciscan combo combines a raw, '70s pub rock vibe with solid songwriting chops; writing actual songs, not just recycled riffs. They've done a coup...
Nov 19, 2022 · Inspired by the early brutal punk songs of Sham 69 and Menace, Oi! bands such as Angelic Upstarts, the Rejects, the 4-Skins and Last Resort went harder and more aggressive still, becoming popular ...
