Well, I don't know much, obviously, but I listened to a little Oi punk today, and heard that some bands are "WHITE POWER".

So, is the whole genre "WHITE POWER" or just specific bands?

I'm a newbie. ]:

Oh HELL no. Oi does definatley not = white power. Most oi apolitical. Now, if you start getting into RAC or "Rock Against Communism" bands, that's where you start getting into some shady right winged and nazi s**t.

What oi band were you listening to?

Only a very small niche is WP bullshit. Most of it is Apolitical trad Oi or SHARP Oi.


Try picking up;
The Business
Pressure point
Oxblood
Angelic Upstarts
Sham 69
Blood For Blood
Anti-Heros
The Bruisers
The 4-skins


I am sure Logan will come in and add more to my list. I am drawing a blank. I listen mostly to Ska and reggae.

I just vomited in my mouth when I read that, then laughed nervously because I'm 98% positive you didn't mean that...

Oi was an offshoot of punk that followed the skinhead revival in the late 70's early 80's. Oi is what others would simply have called Street Punk back then, seeing as the lyrics are agressive and are oriented towards the working class (street punk has now become something different and a little bit stupid). Although Oi! is a type of punk the main following has been by skinheads.

good, if not amazingly awesome Oi! bands include:
The Templars
The Glorystompers
Tattooed ******** Thugs
Sham 69
c**k Sparrer
4Skins
Infa-Riot
Splodge
The Strike
Last Resort
The Opressed
The Butchers
Southpaw Manners
Crucial Change
Brassknuckle 7
American Defense
The Business
Angelic Upstarts
The Bruisers
Deadline
Cobra
Pilsner Oiquell
Stomper 98
Operace Ataban

and much much more. If you lived near me I'd burn you a bunch of s**t, but you don't. So I suggest you buy the compilation Strength Through Oi!... it's good.

I'm not that stupid.

@Ghoulie: I was listening to some on Last FM, and I got a little confused by the summaries. XD. So I looked it up on Wiki (lol always right) and they said here were some nazi/white power s**t. So, I figured I'd ask here to make sure.

@Charlie: I've heard of Sham 69 and The 4-skins, none of the others, though. But I'll look into them. :]

@Potato: Thanks a lot. : D.

yeah, you can usually pick the bonehead s**t based on the way it sounds. No Remorse was nice sounding and catchy, but bands like Jewslaughter (honestly...I mean really, come on) suck d**k.

xd Yeah Jewslaughter is an obvious one.

I just didn't want to get into anything without knowing what it was fully about first, you know? I was listening to some Oi, and I liked it, then I read the summary and got a little concerned. Haha.
