On Trial started with two Oi! fanatics, Ben and Wes, in January/February of 2007 in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. The first two songs written were Friend or Foe and Unionize. They went about one year without a bass player until it dawned on them to just teach Sarah, a mutual friend at the time, to learn bass since she was at every band practice anyway. They played three shows with Sarah and she ended up being their first official bass player. The band finished their first full length titled “Thirty Years Too Late” referring to how their vintage sound could have fit in well with other late ’70s and early ’80s Oi! bands. Shortly after the release of their CD, they released their first E.P. titled “Underage & Full of Rage.” This title referred to how they were all under 21 at the time and how they got picked off by the cops while drinking and driving. About 6 months passed and Sarah left the band, moved to Pittsburgh, then later joined the military. Ben and Wes were once again out of luck with a bass player. There were a few tryouts but nothing really stuck. They couldn’t find anyone as influenced by early British Oi! as them and so they pressed on without a bassist. A year and a half went by without any shows or a bassist until they considered letting Zach try out. Zach tried out and he became On Trial’s new bassist. Since Zach joined the band, they recorded two full lengths, one in 2009 titled, “Falling Down” and one in 2010 titled, “Today America, Tomorrow the World.” Another release they were proud to be a part of was Boots and Booze’s first compilation release titled, “East Coast Oi! Attack Vol. 1” featuring On Trial, Maddog Surrender, Vanguard and The Hooliganz. Throughout their four years of existence they’ve played with bands such as Hub City Stomers, Stigma, The Toasters, Oxblood, Stomper 98, The Templars and many more. They are still looking for venues and bands to play with regularly.

The band that came to be known as 999 first came together towards the end of 1976 when Guy Days and Nick Cash (AKA Gene Carsons AKA Keith Lucas) who had known each other since schooldays, started thinking seriously about getting a group together. Previously Nick Cash had been the guitarist in pub rockers Kilburn & The High Roads who also featured Ian Dury and featured on the album ‘Handsome’. But for 999 he claimed to have had to unlearn An advert was placed in the Melody Maker for a bassist. Jon Watson remembers, “I had come back from a year of playing in Germany and I was determined not to end up in a funk/soul band, then I saw this advert in the Melody Maker …’Bass player required for punk rock group.’ Pablo Labrittain (AKA Paul Buck) joined two months later in December after the band had auditioned numerous drummers. Nick and Guy recall: ‘We knew what we wanted and we wouldn’t settle for anything less.’ Others passing through auditions would be the ever hopeful Chrissie Hynde’ later of the Pretenders’ and John Moss who had also failed the Clash auditions and who would later join London, the Damned & Culture Club. They started serious rehearsals the week before Christmas ’76 in the basement of Broomfields Bakery Brixton before making their debut appearance in January supporting Stretch at Northampton Cricket Ground. Drummer Pablo had only been with the band for nine days! Apart from one other show at the Target Club Reading, 999 did not get a chance to play live again for nearly two months. During this period they found that they could not afford to function without taking daytime jobs. Nick worked as a postal clerk. Pablo became a porter, Guy took a job as a general office worker and Jon started painting on a Brixton building site. ..

So what is Psychocuntabilly and why should you care ?
Psychocuntabilly is a word that Swifty came up with while planning a live broadcast show. This name was chosen as a way of trying to explain to the listener what sort of madness was about to ensue. Take some Psychobilly, mix in a little Country Punk and some large dollops of Hellbilly and Rockabilly and you’re starting to see what you might expect from one of our adrenaline pumping live shows.
Psychocuntabilly is an umbrella name given to a combination of shows that DJs, SWIFTY, SEBSTER and ROSCO put together on a weekly basis and broadcast live via the World Wide Web. Psychocuntabilly makes only one simple promise… “Psychocuntabilly, Grabs Sub Culture by the Balls”.

TheShort ‘n’ Curlies were formed in Norwich, England at the beginning of 1989 by Paddy & Maff after the break up of their band ‘YOB’. The line up at this time was Johnny-Vocals, Adie-Guitar, Paddy-Drums and Maf-Bass. After a couple of years of gigging, Adie left the band and was replaced by Stuie (ex. YOB guitarist). Soon after this Mark, the bands’ van driver, took over on vocals. The line up now was Mark-Vocals, Stuie-Guitar, Paddy-Drums & Maf-Bass. At this time the band released a compilation of old and new demo’s under the title „Nuts As Fuck“ and then set out gigging around the U.K. The demo sold well and was well received by fanzines, the band soon made a name for themselves on the U.K. punk scene. It wasn’t long before the band came to the attention of Germany’s ‘Knockout’ Records who begged the band to release an album which they did in 1994 with their debut album „Bitter ‘n’ Twisted“. The band then set about gigging and touring all ove r Europe, the U.K. and Ireland. 1996 saw the release on Knockout of the 4 track „Make ‘em Suffer“ E.P. followed by yet more gigging and touring. Being fat lazy bastards they didn’t get around to recording any new stuff until 1998 and now in 1999 sees the release of „For Fuck’s Sake“ a new 8 track album. Now were back! with a new line up of mark/vocals,maff bass, mark /guitar,ryan/guitar,paddy/drums.
EVIL CONDUCT.. 100% working class Oi! music from Holland Many times Evil Conduct was compared with legendary Oi! bands from the early eighties. They were even nicknamed “the Dutch Last Resort”. Although the band regards this as a big compliment it is obvious that Evil Conduct has its own identity with its own distinctive sound. Their music may be classified as basic, straight-in-yer-face, sing-along working class Oi! with powerfull vocals… Evil Conduct was originally formed in 1984. But, with 2 skinheads in the line-up it was very hard to get any gigs in the eighties. After recording a demo and only a hand full of gigs, the band called it a day in 1988. In the nineties however, the demo-recordings were released as two 7″ singles, and because hardly anybody knew anything about Evil Conduct, the band became some kind of obscure legend. In 1998-99 the band agreed to make a come-back after numerous requests by promoters. Since then, Evil Conduct has played gigs all over Europe and they have obtained a good live-reputation. The band is also renowned for its strong skinhead-identity, and what’s more, singer-guitarist Han is a well-known tattooer working at .. .. KING OF KINGS TATTOO .. ……
There aren’t many bands that appeal to both Punks & Skins equally but Infa Riot certainly crossed both genres and have equal amount of respect from both camps. A lot of people nowadays think Oi = Skinhead, but a closer look at the early Oi albums will show that there were more non skinhead bands on them than there were people with shaved heads. It was a working class thing. Terrace bootboys, Punks, Skins, Herberts – Oi! was an ATTITUDE and Infa Riot had plenty of that.
Originally formed in early 1980 by vocalist Lee Wilson and his bass playing brother Floyd, together with guitarist Barry Damery and drummer Mark Reynolds, they soon impressed with their brand of boots and braces punk. So much so, they found themselves in ‘Sounds’ with a glowing review of their fourth gig at Hornsey community centre, courtesy of Upstarts vocalist Mensi.
Mensi said “Every time I see them I think, yeah! This is what it’s all about, ordinary kids getting together for a bash. Gutter level, a garage band, no pose, no shit, just get on with the job. Protest, hate, love, all bottled up and let out in a stream of catchy energetic songs. Punk. What it’s supposed to be”.
By November 1980 they managed to blow both Chelsea and The Dark off the Lyceum stage and earnt themselves the tag the ‘new boot boys sensations’ in the endless fanzines they managed to appear in. Lee Wilson enamoured himself with the eighties punks declaring “our crowd are the same age as us. Pursey’s nearly thirty, he’s got no relation with the crowd. The time is right to kick out all the has-beens. It’s time for a new generation of bands. Punk’s about ordinary geezers – punks, skins, bootboys”.
Catching up with Lee now he might not remember saying that (he loved Sham back in the day) but he concedes, “Floyd and Barry were still at school when we started out. The drummer and I were a bit older at 17”. So what were the gigs like for these kids of the eighties? “They were brilliant gigs” Lee reminisces, “I particularly remember Liverpool and Edinburgh as we did an afternoon gig for the under 18s and then went back on again in the evening. All the gigs were brilliant, apart from the spitting which they did back then if they liked you”.
Here’s a pic of us playing together. Brian is on the left, playing guitar. You can crop him out if you’d like. Whatever you want to do with the photo is fine. This was Last Year’s Youth, taken in 1997 in St. Louis, opening for Red Alert at the S.L.O.P. Fest (St. Louis Oi! & Punk Festival).
Vice Squad are a punk rock band formed in Bristol, England. The lead vocalist Beki Bondage has been with the band in the original line-up and when the band reformed in 1998. Beki has continued to perform and record new songs including festival appearances at Rebellion in Blackpool UK, Punk And Disorderly Germany and Pod Parou Czech Republic. She is often cited as being the first punk pin-up featuring on the front cover of a number of influential music tabloids such as Melody Maker, NME, and Smash Hits.
UK PUNK & OI
ABRASIVE WHEELS NEW ALBUM -SKUM
Well it’s been 25 years since there last album was released and after listening to this album I can honestly say it was worth the wait. I reviewed a few of the demo tracks a few weeks back and have been patiently waiting for the finished album to arrive through my letter box.This album covers all angles of punk and like I said before it rams home to you the 70s,80s,90s,and 2000s with a fresh old but new sound, no two songs are the same but the album flows brilliantly from one track to the next. I noticed it also caters not only for all the different decades in punk but also to different age groups; when the album arrived my 12 year old daughter was here with me, she likes her punk music and she was happily listening to the album asking me questions about the band and basically saying what a great album she thought it was. In my view this new album is a must for any punk collection and I can honestly say it is the best album I’ve heard this year, no wait on, I’ll re word that, its the best album I’ve heard in the past few years….5 out of 5
The Cockney Rejects were formed in 1978 in London’s East End by Jeff Turner and Micky Geggus. Fueled by their love of old-school punk and seventies rock, they recruited then brother-in-law Chris Murrell on bass and Paul Harvey on drums.
Their first demo, ‘Flares n’ slippers’ caught the attention of small wonder records supremo Pete Stennett who put them into the studio with producer Bob Sergeant to record the song as a single with ‘I wanna be a star’ on the b-side.
The single was a huge success which sold out its’ initial pressing and went on to figure prominently in the indie charts for months.
Realising that the original line up was only ever going to be temporary, they recruited 21 year old Vince Riordan on bass, who in turn brought in drummer Andy Scott from fellow East End band The Tickets, and the ‘classic’ line up debuted at their regular haunt the Bridge house in Canning Town in June ’79 supporting the Little Roosters and life was never the same after that!
As the press went potty and so did the punters, so the record deal offers came flooding in and in September ’79 the band signed with EMI after which the classic ‘Greatest hits Vol.1’ was released in Febuary 1980.
Not a band to rest on its’ laurels, in between touring the U.K the band found time to record ‘Greatest hits Vol. 2’ which was released in October of that year, and had two hit singles with ‘The greatest Cockney Ripoff’ and ‘I’m forever blowing bubbles’ which celebrated the fact that their beloved West Ham United had reached the F.A cup final that year.
Unfortunately at that time the band were beginning to be associated with the burgeoning football hooligan movement that had arisen in Britain at that time, and because of their unabashed association with West Ham united, battles with rival factions at gigs effectively ended the band as a touring unit, and when then GLC supremo Ken Livingstone slapped a totally uncalled for London- wide ban on them (there was never any trouble in London!) the band seemed doomed.
A hastily-arranged live album ‘Greatest hits Vol 3’ was released in March 1981 and from then on the band went in to ‘Beatles’ mode and only released records. Shaping their sledgehammer sound into a more refined beast, the band released ‘The power and the Glory’ in August 1981, and after leaving EMI after 4 albums they released the full-on metal ‘Wild Ones’ on the NEMS label in September 1982.
At that point Vince decided to leave the band, and the remaining three incorporated bass player Ian Campbell for 1984’s ‘Quiet Storm’ which was released on the Heavy Metal records label, which was voted by Kerrang! Magazine the fifth best release of the year, alongside such greats as Deep Purple and Aerosmith.
However, the boys missed Vince and decided to call it a day, only briefly reuniting for the hard rock ‘Lethal’ album on Neat records which was released in April 1990, after which they went their separate ways again.
However, nine years later, interest in the band was awoken by young American bands such as Rancid, green Day and Blink 182 who cited the Rejects as major influences and after a Levi’s ad featured ‘Im not a fool’ Rejects mania seemed to be in full swing and demand for the band to reform, record and play live again reached fever pitch.
With Vince retired from the rock business, Mick asked his old friend from Sunderland’s Red alert Tony Van Frater to join the band on bass, and Tony in turn brought in Andrew ‘Lainey’ Laing on drums, and they recorded an album of Rejects covers called, well well well, ‘Greatest hits Vol.4’ which was released on the Rhythm vicar label in November 1999.
The new line-up also clicked fabulously live, and sell out tour followed sell out tour all over the world, and they released a new album, ‘Out of the Gutter’ in June 2002.
They followed that up with the mighty ‘Unforgiven’ which was released on G&R London in June 2007, and have gone from strength to strength ever since, playing to packed houses the world over with high energy shows which literally take the breath away and show the youngsters how it really SHOULD be done!
In May 2010 they realized a lifetime’s dream and played ‘Bubbles’ to 25000 people at West Ham’s ground in support of their friend Kevin Mitchell on his world title challenge to Michael Katsidis.
The boys are currently writing new material for their forthcoming 10th studio album, as well as working on the forthcoming documentary about the band, ‘East End Babylon’ which is due for release in 2011.
What with all this and new tours being planned all the time, it really is time for everybody to Join the Rejects…….And this time, nobody gets themselves killed!
Agent Bulldogg formed in 1986
During the years we have played with bands like
TOY DOLLS, SECTION 5, COCK SPARRER, The BUSINESS, ANGELIC UPSTARTS, GLORY BOYS, EVIL CONDUCT, MAJOR ACCIDENT, GUITAR GANGSTERS, THE PRIDE, ARGY BARGY, ANTIPATI, GATANS LAG, CLICHES and many many more. We have released two albums and been featured on many compilations during the years.
Antipati is:
Radar – Vocals & Guitar
Robban – Vocals & Guitar
Pelle – Vocals & Bass
Johan – Drums
The band started in 2006 with members from Contemptuous, Dobermann Cult, Östermalm Boys, Sthlm Celtics, Headed for Disaster, The Righteous etc. We are influenced by punk in most forms and of all colours, friends, beer, working life, nostalgia, commieblocks and life in general. Antipati sounds like classic Stockholm skinhead punk played by people with great record collections, brains, muscles and attitude
After the Sleepless EP (which featured also as a bonus songs on last full length album Frågor som rör almänna) is out another EP of Swedish streetpunk band Antipati, now with Italian pizza title Quattro Stagioni (Four Seasons). In band is vocalist Roban who you may know from The Righteous and the other members play also in reunited Agent Bulldogg. Band has two guitars and in two songs keyboards were used. On EP you will find four songs which are in relationship with the title of the EP so on A side there is Sommarpsalm (Summer Psalm) and Hösten (Autumn) and on B side Vinterhymn (Winter Anthem) and Våren (Spring). Antipati is based on melodiousness of their songs which is reflected in refrains and vocals time to time sang without musical instruments (like in summer song for example) but also on guitar solos (the good one is in autumn song and at the end of the spring song). I winter song you can hear a melody taken from refrain part of summer song. It reminds me little bit Booze and Glory in some ways. All songs are played with amazing ease which shine from the whole music. To EP is no paper with lyrics which is pitty because I want to know what can streetpunk band sing about four seasons. Cover is done as a gatefold with thankslist and band line up on the back side. The cover has very original graphic design and it is done by Sergio from BSOi! Records. EP is limited to 500 copies like other EP´s from Swedish Streetpunk Collective Series. It´s a pitty, that on cover is no band photo. Instead of this EP band has released also this year 10´´ split with Last Rough Cause on Randale Records and I have to buy it somewhere and you, who like quality and melodic stuff, you should do it also.
“Amazing, The Griswalds are what got me interested in Rock & Roll”
– Elvis Presley!
“To me they are the greatest band in the world”
– Mick Jagger!
“I always wanted to be an astronaut, but after seeing The Griswalds I knew what I had to do”
– Charles Manson!
These are just a few of the things that have NEVER been said about The Griswalds, but what can we say about these lovable rogues of psychobilly?
The band was formed in 1987 by 4 likeminded musicians who just wanted to make music and have a laugh. Now 24 years later, the band is still going strong with all the original members (apart from 3 and 1 extra guy).
Over the years, Gary Griswald has seen many people join and leave the band, mostly leave, and is now currently enjoying the company of 4 young duchies.
Accompanied by Ramone Griswald on Bass, Joost Griswald and Simon Griswald on Guitars and Erik Griswald on Drums, the band are currently in the process of recording a follow up album to ‘Who Framed The Griswalds’ which the band released back in 1989.
Asked recently about the new members of the band, Gary Griswald said “I’m just happy that they have the same surname as me”, When prompted for further quotes the singer just mumbled and held his hand out asking “do you wanna buy a big issue”
Now in 2011 and the bands 24th year in existence it is safe to say that they have never been busier, they will be touring Brazil and playing many festivals all over the world. So hopefully if you are in the vicinity of one of these shows, why don’t you pop along and see for yourselves what all the fuss is about, then maybe you can tell me!!
Mummy’s Darlings / Germany, Bavaria
2005 it all started. 4 friends from Bavaria that already had been playing German Oi!-Punk-Music together decided to start a new Band – with true and basic Skinhead music, Oi! like it used to be. During one of those nights full of music and booze the decision fell to have a go with the Name “Mummy’s Darlings”. Not a very sober decision but still the best we could make. There is no need for a wannabe badass name anymore. For us four our friendship, good music and having the best time of our lives is the most important thing – being on stage combines what we all love most. We don’t need to put politics into our lyrics cos being skinhead means a lot more to us.
It only took us two years until we were given the chance to record our first Album “Stormtroopers of Rock ‘n’ Roll”. We spent a lot of great nights on stage and at the bar. We had some very special gigs supporting great bands like Indecent Exposure, Condemned84, Skinfull and many others and our love for the good old skinhead-sound started to spill over to audiences throughout Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic…
In 2009 we recorded our second album “For the Bootboy’s Soul” in which we payed tribute to the cult we all love so much and due to this very special year we added a musical birthday present for the best scene ever. With songs like “40 years of burning hearts” we went ahead on our way to play smart, rude and very rootsy Oi!-Music in the good old English style. Our music led us to parties in Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic and even England – everywhere we met great Skinheads and Byrds who love the music and lifestyle as much as we do. Small diy-Gigs – promoters and bands, everyone gives his best to make every weekend the best you ever had – can you imagine something better? We can’t – that’s why we play oi! Music – for the skinheads’ souls!
