updates

i added a live set to the English Skin Deep (as opposed to Scottish Skin Deep), thanks Piotr.

activated videos that were previously "too long" for youtube by Barbed Wire (demo) & Offensive Weapon (demo).

filled in Rough Stuff ("modern" japanese band)

Put all of japanese band Rough Stuff's oi music up, before they go more punk for their LP and split 7" afterwards.

B Squadron

holy shit, a new band (besides Steel Comb) that sounds like authentic 80s british fucking oi oi music. And although not 100% throwback raw oi like this, check out contemporaries Last Crusade & Crown Court (it's almost about time i give those bands their own pages).

B squadron interview

currently active bands

i'm going to attempt to make a list of bands (maybe with links) of 80s oi bands who're still around or have reformed, or maybe i just heard they reformed and it never happened, who cares, just keep your eyes peeled for the ones who aren't cashing in and go have a good time. i'm goin to catch a Partisans gig and i;m fuckin drunk so i will update this some day.

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....

Kerfew

more to come... not too much more tho

it ain't over yet... a small handful more of 80's bands coming when i get around to it.

while i have your attention - 2 american bands that have the right idea as far as U.S. oi goes. (since i hate most modern bands and styles)

Victory - my midwest neighbors and fat friends who have been around as a band for a few years now.


Their singer Dan's voice is going from being on tour and playing a show the same day before filming this, but this is best place to get a well rounded idea of most of their songs in one place.


i also got this demo cd in the mail from the female-fronted Class System (after bugging them first...), outta somewhere in California.
