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
Lost Legion from Chicago are, for me, one of the most essential contemporary bands around. This is their 7″, featuring four songs. The material on this EP was recorded earlier and was originally supposed to be released in 2022. According to what I was able to find, the release was...
Street Code are a band from Toronto, Canada, and according to what I managed to dig up, they rose from the ashes of Rough Cuts and Overpower. I mainly registered Rough Cuts as a straight-up Oi! band, not least thanks to their split EP with the British legends Red...
Klaxon are an Oi! band from Rhode Island on the East Coast of the USA. This LP is made up of material written between 2023 and 2025. Originally, the band released these tracks one by one as singles on Bandcamp, and this year their release was taken over by the...
Yeah! This Australian wrecking machine from Sydney made a strong impression on me years ago when I had the chance to see them live. An excellent show, and I absolutely love the albums Nail It Shout and Know The Code. When the news broke that Rebellion Records had dug an...
Razortooth are new blood on the Scottish scene. I was curious to hear how a new band from Scotland would sound, as historically I mainly know On File (all three of their records are great), and in recent years I also noticed Cuttin‘ Edge from Glasgow. They released a solid...
This is the second release from this young band out of Springfield, Illinois. On a seven-inch vinyl format it delivers five songs in total, which I absolutely love. The 7″ is still my favorite vinyl format of all. No Guard operate within a fairly wide range of influences, with a...
I finally got around to this EP, which had already found its way into my hands sometime in the middle of the year. It’s a release by the southern California band Handpay, issued on Lionheart Records in a pressing of 25 test presses, 115 copies on black vinyl, and 215...
The latest release from Oi!Tism Records is a recording by Jackknife Johnny from Sacramento, California. This is the band’s debut, featuring nine original tracks. The record was released in two versions: 130 copies on Apple Red vinyl and 132 copies on Ice Blue with Black Splatter. In total, the album...
Rancœur from Nancy follow the wave of the French cold Oi! scene. In 2022, the band released their first EP Lame En Peine, followed by their self-titled debut LP. The album was released through a collaboration of several labels, namely Longshot Music, Kanal Hysterik, Contra Records, and Tough Ain’t Enough....
I picked up this EP during one of my record-shopping trips earlier this year. I had no idea what kind of project it was, but the release on Tough Ain’t Enough, the 7″ vinyl format, and the classic aggressive artwork convinced me to buy it. I didn’t know the band...
The gang of gorillas from Sweden recently gave us an interview, so if you’re interested in their story and approach to music, I recommend starting there. So far, the band has released all their recordings as seven-inch singles with four tracks each. For those who—like me—missed their original releases, there’s...
Sympos are a band from Waterford, Ireland. I first came across them thanks to their EP More Sympos, which I ordered on vinyl immediately after hearing it online. As I’ve said here a few times, the most interesting projects are usually the ones that manage to combine different influences and...
