Gothenburg troublemakers Raka Rør are a three-piece Oi! band, and its members Robin, Love, and Jocke have decided to cause us immeasurable pleasure by releasing the compilation album Värdighetens förkämpar (Defenders of Dignity). It’s a selection of 20 tracks covering everything the band recorded between 2019 and 2022, including a...
Bent Out Of Shape hail from Fryslân, a province in the north of the Netherlands. The band delivers ten melodic streetpunk tracks – nine originals and one cover of Major Conflict, a New York band from 1983. According to Discogs, the lineup includes members of Spirit 84, DSS, No Denial,...

Pena Maxima is quite an interesting phenomenon in today’s streetpunk world. The band from Miami, USA, formed in 2016, is made up of people with South American roots and is strongly tied to the theme of football. Judging by the photos, it’s also a pretty diverse crew – punks and...

Dávka štěstí is the eighth, ninth, or quite possibly even the tenth full-length record by the Prague punk rock band Nežfaleš — depending on whether you count the split with Supertesla and the compilation Dvě desítky let among their regular albums. I’ll leave that up to you. What’s certain, however,...
The Australian band The Vee Bees formed in 2000, so they’ve already racked up a respectable quarter century of existence. Honestly, I didn’t know this band at all before, but they deliver a likable mix of punk and rock’n’roll. They don’t take themselves too seriously and, instead of focusing on...
No Heart is a Canadian band I’ve been following since around 2018, when they released the album Can’t Get Out. That record carried a fairly raw Oi!/street punk spirit that entertained me in a similar way to early recordings by Perkele. A ringing guitar clashing like swords in a duel,...
At the end of 2025, the Prague-based label Knockout Booking released an album by the Finnish band Pay Cut. The band hails from Helsinki, which raises the question of whether there is any personal or at least scene-related connection to The Hostile Ones, who come from the same city and...
