The Sybians is a reggae project from Amsterdam. After their first single in 2025, they now come up with their debut full-length album, offering thirteen
I spent quite a while thinking about how to start this review of Lost Legion from Chicago. Since no clear concept came to mind, I’ll go with a more intuitive approach. The first thing that caught my attention was the small poster included with the record. Along with its artwork,...
Poor Impulse Control return with their second release. After the 2024 LP Where Angels Fear To Tread, here comes the Tourist Trap EP, once again released in cooperation with Contra Records and Audio Epidemic Records. Compared to their debut, the band have turned it up a notch – or rather...
Canadian The Prowlers released their album Prowl Around in 2022, in collaboration with several labels across continents. In the band’s discography, it’s only their second full-length after Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. It might sound surprising, given how long they’ve been around, but besides these two LPs they also put out...
On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, sparking the First World War. 111 years later, Belgrade commando Fitz decided to storm into the world of streetpunk with the same ferocity as the battles that erupted back then. Since I don’t know many bands from the Balkans (from Serbia,...
The first band to appear in our reviews with more than one release is, „surprisingly,“ Shaved For Battle. The label Under The Watchful Eyes put out this EP in 2025, and Muna also provided the artwork. The opening track, Diehards, belongs among the very best that Shaved For Battle have...
This mini album, or rather maxi EP, was released in the US under Longshot Records and in Europe through TASTM. Bomber hail from Los Angeles and, according to the booklet, the band is made up of musicians who have been active in the punk, Oi! and rock’n’roll scene since the...
This Oi! punk crew from the Netherlands appeared on the scene in 2005. In the following two years, they spat out two records and a split with Bottlejob. Then they disappeared for several years, only to return in full force in 2017. And in excellent form, which they have consistently...
The band Revanche from Geneva, Switzerland, has released their first LP on Primator Crew. It’s an Oi! project with French lyrics. Musically, I think it will appeal to fans of bands like The Templars, Bromure, Rixe, and other projects that draw their roots from previous decades. Revanche take inspiration from...
The opening blurb presents An Slua as a band that bridges the gap between names like Oi! Polloi and The Oppressed on one side, and modern Oi!/punk bands such as Slugger and Lost Legion on the other. Personally, I hadn’t heard of them before listening to this record — all...
Ultra Razzia is an Oi!/punk band from Montreal, so our unintentional wave of Canadian reviews and interviews keeps rolling on. When I eventually apply for political asylum in Canada, I’ll attach a list of this year’s reviews and interviews and fully expect an immediate approval. Last year, the French label...
Razorblade from Den Bosch, the Netherlands, are one of those bands that have been with me for over twenty years. I first came across their early stuff back in my teenage years — and Spreading Fear and Skinheads Are Back (2002 and 2005) totally blew me away. That aggressive, razor-sharp...
German Oi!’n’rollers Still Defiant are back with a brand new 10″. The record came out through a joint release between Try And Stop Me Records from Germany and Oi!tim Records from the USA. I’ve always liked this collaboration, not only because they’ve put out bands like Shaved For Battle, but...
