it seems like sham were regarded as clowns over in england but elsewhere, they are taken seriously.

Everyneurotic · 08.20.2006, 08:32 PM

dropkick murphys are pogues rip offs

Toilet & Bowels · 08.20.2006, 08:35 PM

and the pogues are irish and therefore not oi!

Everyneurotic · 08.20.2006, 08:38 PM

exactly.

some american stuff have touched on the oi! thing but haven't really gone to the deep end...like there was a period during reunion-era agnostic front where they got pretty chanty and very shitty in the process.

I'm not sure that Action Pact were Oi, but I did like them very much, and I'm not sure that I'll ever get a chance to mention them on here again so:

Action Pact - They were pretty fabulous.

Is he still a Hersham boy then?

sonicl · 08.21.2006, 03:19 AM

Yeah, Jimmy's still a Hersham Boy.

I kid you not, there were plans to erect a statue of him in Hersham a year or two ago.

Oh yes, Action Pact were great, but not Oi!

Then again, I was stretching it a bit with Vice Squad, but Beki Bondage...

Ian Glasper's book, Burning Britain is a really good read when it comes to a lot of this stuff. I wouldn't say i was ever a fan, although Anti-Nowhere-League's 'So What' (assuming ANL were an Oi band at all) definitely caused some sniggers in the playground when it came out.

'So What'

Well I've been to Hastings
And I've been to Brighton
I've been to Eastbourne too
So what, so what

Well I've been here
And I've been there
And I've been every fucking where
So what, so what

So what, so what you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you

Well I've sucked sweets
And I've sucked rock
And I've even sucked an old man's cock
So what, so what

Well I've fucked a sheep
And I've fucked a goat
I've had my cock right down its throat
So what, so what
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you

Well I've drunk that
And I've drunk this
And I've spewed up on a pint of piss
So what, so what

And I've had scag
I've had speed
I've jacked up until I bleed
So what, so what
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you

Well I've had crabs
And I've had lice
And I've had the pox and that ain't nice
So what, so what

Well I've fucked this
And I've fucked that
And I've even fucked a schoolgirl's crack
So what, so what
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Who cares, who cares about you
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you....

I've got Burning Britain but I've never gotten around to actually reading it. I'm disappointed emmah didn't contribute more to this thread.

gualbert · 08.04.2008, 07:42 AM

I like The Expelled , on Captain Oi.
I guess they're an oi band for somebody ( for me they're punk/harcore ).

It's interesting largely because it's an area most people like to ignore. Glasper's ok, but he does have a tendency to shy away from some of the more suspect political aspects of the scene. But even so, it's a good account of a side of UK punk that the likes of Jon Savage would probabaly rather never existed. Saying that, it isn't really as book about Oi, so much as the second wave of Punk. Stuff like Discharge, etc.

I ride a scooter - of course I listen to oi. I need to maintain the stereotype.
