Savage Beat

Savage Beat blend a wide range of influences in their music, drawing from styles such as punk, rock’n’roll, and Oi!. Their sound is anything but boring — on the contrary, they can lead the listener straight through the defense like a Ballon d’Or winner in top form. They’ve been active...

Periferia Nord

Perifèria Nord: Where Post-Punk Meets Literary Horror. Forget sun-drenched beaches and tourist postcards. The Perifèria Nord project emerges from the gray suburbs of Barcelona and the chill that sets in when Vitamin D fades in winter. The band, whose members are veterans of the punk, Oi!, and hardcore scenes, have...

Nežfaleš

Nežfaleš is a band that has been active on the Czech punk scene for more than twenty years. After years of honest touring throughout the country, when the band has played almost every hall and pub where it is possible to drag a playing machine, the band has become an...

Fitz

Fitz is a relatively young band from Belgrade that plays Oi!. They have just released their first full-length LP, which is a good reason to ask a few interesting questions. Singer Cobe answered our questions, and we talked about where that undying drive to create and leave a mark comes...

Wouter Davids (Rebellion Records, Razorblade, Live By The Sword, Heathen Peace)

Wouter Davids is a name that’s been part of the Oi!, punk, and hardcore scene since the 1990s. He has been — and still is — active as a musician in bands like Squalor, Razorblade, Live By The Sword, and Heathen Peace, and he also runs Rebellion Records, a label...

Emscherkurve 77

German punk veterans Emscherkurve 77 (EK77) don’t mess around. Melodic punk straight from the heart of the Ruhr region, honest lyrics, and a pure DIY approach – that’s been their signature for many years. We caught up with guitarist Marcel to find out what the band is cooking up (yes,...

Shaved For Battle

Oi! on the East Coast of the USA has its own heroes and history. At the same time, new projects are emerging, and one of the most notable is definitely Shaved For Battle. Stylistically, it’s pure Oi! without compromise and without hardcore influences, carrying a proud stance. We spoke with...

Fléau

Fléau – brutal oi!/street punk/hardcore from Lyon – started out as a covid project, but with their first EP from March 2021 (Fléau) they gained international attention. In 2025, they released their second self-titled EP (s/t), which includes new songs as well as tracks from their debut and a cover....

Tear Up

Recently, the new record by Tear Up from Watford was released, and it sold out within a few days. No wonder – it’s great. Since it caught my attention as well, we asked the band’s frontman Jamie for an interview. You can catch the band live at upcoming shows in...

Poor Impulse Control

Poor Impulse Control are a band from Massachusetts whose work could probably best be described as skinhead hardcore. They have released one LP from last year and an EP this year. They caught my attention mainly with their online single Fresh Cut Stomp, which is an uncompromising hit. Singer Steve...

Badterms

I first came across Badterms when Ramon GD was preparing the cover for their second record. I tried their work and discovered great rock’n’Oi!. This band from Boston makes great music, loves subculture and has something to say about music and life in our tribe. Plus, they’re going on a...

Over The Hill

Over The Hill is a band from Montreal that caught my attention with their album „Over The Hill“ released on UVPRV. A bunch of guys living in the subculture, but whose lives have been shaken by parenthood and midlife crisis. It’s a story I know all too well — just...
