Skinsects – Vor die Hunde: A German cover of a Basque anthem

The German Oi! band Skinsects has introduced a new music video for the track „Vor die Hunde,“ premiered on the Contra Records YouTube channel. Fans of European street punk will immediately recognize the melody – it is a cover of the cult track „Biolentzia 1984“ by the Basque outfit Kaleko Urdangak.

The original song „Biolentzia 1984“ dates back to 2018 and has become one of the most prominent anthems of the contemporary skinhead scene. Skinsects took this proven musical foundation and added their own German lyrics. The track retains the rawness of the Basque original, while the German vocals give it a sharp „Teutonic“ edge.

The video’s visuals rely on a classic black-and-white aesthetic, combining footage from old movies with shots from the tour van, live shows, and the streets, underscoring the authenticity that Contra Records has long represented. This connection between German Oi! and Basque skinhead rock’n’roll works perfectly and confirms the strong ties within the European Oi! scene.
