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
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...
The Hostile Ones are a band from Helsinki, and this is their latest release, put out on a ten-inch vinyl. I first came across mentions of their activity in 2022, so unless the band had been secretly creating something underground before that, this is a fairly new project. They sing...
The Enforcers from Canada have already appeared here – back then in a review of their debut album. That one was excellent, and the band continues in the very same spirit. Their second release, or rather a mini-album from this tough Canadian bootboy gang, came out as a joint effort...
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 –...
