Apocrypha
In this post I bring you some bands that didn't make the Oi! Canon, but deserve their place in the company of the better-known legends. (This post could go on for a week, but here's a handful to get started. Maybe there'll be a sequel.) Whether these bands didn't achieve the notoriety of their contemporaries... Continue Reading →

One Shot One Kill
Today I'm bringing you a trio of EP's from three bands that only released one record a piece. I suppose there are various reasons for their respective lack of output. But despite the bands' limited discographies, each of these short records dish out an absolute sonic beat down. Real Oi! is alive and kickin'! Let's... Continue Reading →
Forth to War!
On this edition of Condemned to Combat we're marching into battle with some shitkicking American Oi! Our first wave of assault is delivered by Sweet Fuck All out of Philidelphia.
