Youtube videos of songs from 1980's UK oi bands - from the left to the right - obscure & otherwise. I try to touch base with at least one song from everything in a bands 80's catalog or other noteworthy releases, but the aim is to get whole releases on the page. I am keeping politics out of this shit & as long as a bands sound is mostly Oi! & it's from the UK in the 1980's, then I will put it on here. You all have brains - judge for yourselves.

Fatal Blow
There were 2 bands called Fatal Blow - one RAC band from Workington, England and the other, a regular oi band, from Cardiff Wales. The RAC band formed in '86 and only played one gig in '87. This demo is supposedly from '84, but I have no fucking clue, nor do i really give a shit, but if all this info is correct then it's the Welsh band by default.

Skin Disease
Skin Disease - a fake band/song. This is actually a young anarchists Chumbawaumba with some extra studio time, ricking Gary Bushell and getting onto an oi comp., making fun of skinheads and oi - and gettign away with it!
newer band (japan) - Rough Stuff
Since i am running out of 80's uk bands (not done yet tho...) i bring you this now-deceased, but fairly recent band, Rough Stuff. Most of you will find this a stretch and i'm sure the brits who read this will think its ridiculous, but this band (on their 2 demos and 7") had the sound of bands like Combat, Last Resort and other simple, raw lo-fi 80s uk oi bands. The vocals are completely japanese-english bullshit, but, hey - what the fuck can ya do? Their self tilted 2009 7" came in black or marbled oxblood or bleach splatter denim colors, i don;t know why but i fucing love that. On their only full length release they took more streetpunk approach and i stopepd paying attention. They were around from roughly '07 to '11 - a drunk japanese guy in NYC told me they're done for sure.
here's their material before they turn more "streetpunk"
