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.

Skingraft demo
as i was driving to chicago today and listening to Oi! Oi! Music by Skin Graft on a cd i made, i thought (again) "is anyone ever gonna find this fuckin demo? this shits great- raw as fuck, primal, simple and melodic but aggressive, like it should be" - i also thought, could i pull this off as a cover in my band that doesn't exist but that's some other bullshit altogether - who could be in a band with a purist asshole like me anyways haha. Well, anyways, today i saw online that their demo is fucking finally going to see the light of day on a 7"!!! more info as it gets closer to release....
