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.

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.
