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
In my opinion, Komintern Sect ranks among the foundational pillars of French Oi! punk—right alongside bands like Camera Silens, R.A.S., Reich Orgasm, and Snix. Their legacy was firmly established as early as 1983, thanks in part to their appearance on the now-legendary Chaos En France compilation (Chaos Productions), which introduced...
This record is an absolute beast! The five-piece Canadian band The Enforcers released it on Lionheart Records in a limited run of just 206 copies – and I’d say they’re one of the best new bands to emerge in recent years. Rock Against Society is raw, powerful, and bursting with...
The third release from the Munich-based hardcore bootboy band Choke Combat. After their demo on No Fuss Tapes and a debut LP on Try And Stop Me Records, they now return with a four-track EP, once again released under the TASM label. Choke Combat are now a four-piece, and stylistically...
Lion’s Law are slowly becoming veterans of the scene. After thirteen years of existence, they belong among the most active touring bands, well-known for the raw energy of their live performances. Putting aside Si Le Ciel Vient À Tomber—an album featuring French-language versions of older songs—this is the band’s fifth...

Castillo from Los Angeles are one of the leading names of the dominant wave of Oi! currently storming clubs across the U.S.. The driving force behind the project is Alex Zambrano, who has been involved in a number of Oi!/streetpunk/hardcore bands – most notably Combat Force, Criminal Outfit, and Repeat...
Big Dog is an Oi! band from Buffalo featuring members of Violent Way, with a massive guy named Graham on vocals. The guys from Violent Way deliver heavy and aggressive Oi!, while Graham tops it off with his rough voice. The result is four fierce tracks with a perfect sound...
Brut is a project by Brod Ashmol from Australia, who has been involved in bands like Marching Orders, Stranglehold, Razorcut, The Truth, and The Hard Targets. If I understood correctly, Brut is actually a one-man project, but I’m not entirely sure – the booklet didn’t reveal much, so in that...
Over the Hill is a Canadian band from Montreal, made up of guys who have been around the scene for quite a few years. If you’re curious about which bands the members played in before, check out the interview we did with them earlier this year on our website –...
