Last Orders

...sketch alert...

Blitz

after Blitz split into 2 bands, the one you probably wanna hear (unlike the last shit still labeled as "Blitz" on their singles collection...) is Rose of Victory:



second half of this video is Blitz' '80 demo



 ...to be continued...

Out Of Order

half german/half british punk&oi band. from my understanding they were Britons at a military base in germany and made a band there. they get pretty diverse and weird sometimes. all of their material has been reissued on one 12" in germany.

Antisocial

Antisocial interview from Backstreet Battalion skinzine

the Elite

Obscure band not to be confused with the RAC band or the other Oi! band of the 90's

honorable mentions - Netherlands/Holland - the Magnificent, the Squats, N.V. Le Anderen & Evil Conduct

Dutch "oi" bands from the 80's that sound English (to Americans).


the Magnificent






the Squats (pre-Magnificent)
a uk82 sounding punk band - as with any good streetpunk band - with oi leanings






N.V. Le Anderen (aka NV Boys)
basically just a hardcore punk band who were skinheads






Evil Conduct
samples of mid/late 80's recordings, released in the early/mid 90's

Case

they were one of those pseudo-oi/soul/ska deals. this is the only song that resembles oi that i have ever heard from them. I don't know if i would have ever considered this oi except i have heard it on comps growing up and its etched into my fucking brain, whether i like it of not.

Feckin Ejits

Last Rites

A great punk band with oi overtones making appearances on all of their recordings except their LP. They had 2 excellent eps, a full length and a demo whose songs were distributed amongst compilations.

the Burial

Seemingly more well known for their ska/soul type music (and their fucking excellent "hit" oi song, "Friday Night") - they recorded a few great oi tracks in their early(?) days.If you feel compelled, check out their other non-oi songs on youtube. The Burial also made a brief appearance as the backing band in the Britanarchists

Oi Polloi

here, suck on this.






Besides being controversial as basically a hippie/anarchist/crust band "disguised" as an Oi! band, there's the whole Oi Polloi/Betrayed split ("Skins N Punk Volume Two"), where, on the reissue, Oi Polloi (by request) were removed - due to Betrayed's right wing reputation- and replaced with the excellent, and often overlooked, the Strike. Look it up or buy it - it's got the same vibe as the record below -  it's better than those shitty tapes above, and beats the piss out of their crusty stuff on all of the other records. If you can wade through all the shit, they have a good oi-style tune here and there throughout their whole "crusty" career to this day.

Criminal Class

Like many of the bands who had material re-released, their music's pretty easily accessible, usually all on one cd ("Oi! Collection"... again), but didn't have everything single recording the band had done. Their previously-omitted, rare '84 demo tracks are on here. A few of other songs are missing from this page (and alt. versions) - classic band, and one of the first true all-skinhead & oi bands, going back to as early as '79.

Intensive Care

pre-Beerzone & Control






link to song "Ghost Town"













"Plastic Rebel" aka "Rebel" - alt. version




There's plenty of material missing here. An almost-complete collection was put out called "The Oi! Collection".

VA - Oi! Oi That's Yer Lot!

Subculture

old song, old recording, new vocals recorded over it. Singer quit before this song was recorded back when, and another guy filled in. Now the singers (been) back and rerecorded his modern vocals over this old track.

Clockwork Soldiers

pre-the Glory

the Oppressed

Societys Rejects

5 or 6 songs missing ...to be continued...
