[engl] After their demo, released in vinyl, the first real record of Parisians. A breath of fresh air in the Parisian oi scene! a rich band and varied in its influences, to look for as much as Criminal Damage or Blitz and the Cult.

[engl] Amazing debut by this band hailing from the mountains and valleys of Switzerland with 5 tracks-plus-intro of Heavy Metal infused OI! with such an absurd amount of epicness that will make you want to horse charge, sword in the air, towards a riot police line or climb the Eiger's north face, barefoot and with a full armour on. Yeah, like that. Check those monumental riffs, those battle drums, the guitar leads, listen to the choruses, this is the perfect soundtrack to beheading kings and queens in front of overjoyed crowds or a triumphant march of peasants after overthrowing the lords. So yeah if you like your OI! with strong influences from Heavy Metal and stories of epic battles and warriors fighting the power, this is definitely for you. Tue Ton Roi!!!

[engl] Exactly half a year after the vinyl release of their demo comes the second 7" by the Californians, and I can't be happier about this release! This band just gets better and better, more and more brutal, sharper and sharper, adding complexity to the songs without losing the point, and still keeping a healty balance between the fast ragers and the mid-tempo stompers they trade-marked. 6 new tracks of more sheer brutality, more feedback and distortion, more punching basslines, more of those sweet crazy memorable guitar riffs, more deep-in-the-cave rough screaming, more of that momumental drumming. More stomping and elbowing. This is awesome. Just check the 20 sec intro on "Culture Of War". You feel it? That's REPEAT OFFENDER coming for you and destroying everything in their path.

[engl] Featuring one track on the PARIS ON OI! compilation, this new project with members of a great number of bands have their own proper debut with this 7” EP containing 4 tracks plus an intro of perfectly executed French OI!: great guitar work, perfect balance between melody and rawness, slightly gloomy, agressive and catchy.

[engl] In March 2020 the band made their vinyl debut on Mendeku Diskak with the now sold-out “Bermeo Skinhead Hardcore” 7inch, changed drummer and then went on a forced hiatus by the pandemic which put them in intensive care, almost pronounced dead: no gigs for months, moral really down, even booked a farewell tour in France, Belgium, Catalunya and Basque Country with CUERO by the end of 2021...and that changed everything. Luckily enough for the rest of us, they decided to keep going and oh boy they did, stronger than ever, like rising from the ashes with sole purpose of pounding our heads and make us mosh with their powerful and uncompromising HARDCORE for years to come. So there you have this 12inch with the title “Euskal Hardcorra” as statement of perseverance and stubbornness with 8 tracks sung in Basque and filled with monumental riffs, feedbacks, stomping vibes, delicate rawness, perfect vocal delivery, amazing drum work and general crushing power. A bulldozing record that proves once again that Bermeo has something special for extreme rocknroll.

[engl] Rixe are back are with a fresh three song attack. “La Clé” is two minutes and twenty seconds of lean, mean and meaty Oi! that only Rixe over the last few years have perfected. It's driving sound is built on razor sharp tight drums, a slightly phased guitar and vocals that bite and bark. “Nuit Rasoir” is another straight down the line pounder that could easily have been one of the first ten releases on No Future Records. “Les Cent Pas” is the final track and rounds off things with another stomper. The sound is bigger, punchier but still very much Rixe that you know and love.

[engl] Collection neatly compiles RIXE’s first 3 Eps on one album. All 12 cuts have been remastered for maximum volume. Rixe appeared from nowhere and went from strength to strength over the two years since the Debut EP Coup Et Blessures was released in February 2015. The EP was their calling card and harked back to the glory years of Bologna’s finest Nabat mixed with the classic 80’s French Oi! sound. It was instant and loved by all and went on to have six pressings. A year later came Les Nerf A Vif – another four tracker with extra bite and bile. Every track was perfectly recorded and produced. Lean with snarl and each track a nugget of anthemic Oi!. On third EP Bapteme Du Feu there was no let up in quality. Precision Oi! with a pop element that’s built to be loved now and in 20 years. Joined together the 3 EPs make a perfect album and proof that why RIxe are Oi! royalty in 2017. Comes with A2 poster by Matt Bellossi and artwork by Nicky Rat.

[engl] Coups Et Blessures’ is the debut 7? EP from new Paris Oi! band RIXE. The four track EP harks back to the glory years of Bologna’s finest NABAT mixed with the classic 80’s French Oi! sound via RAS or L’INFANTERIE SAUVAGE and a heavy BLITZ vibe. The sound is rough, direct and angry and driven by a distorted bass and a vocalist that chews on glass for fun. Like the now defunct CRIMINAL DAMAGE, newbies Pittsburgh’s NO TIME and Brest’s SYNDROME 81, RIXE are the new voice of a Generation.

[engl] Debut release of this new project born between both shores of the English Channel. Glammy hooks and swaggering bravado on a dark wavelength. This release goes from strength to strength like melancholic overture with venomous guitars. Really catchy and tuneful stuff perfectly balanced with raspy vocals and sharp and direct aesthetics. A true beast of no nation.

[engl] After a few demo tracks released only in digital, this Italian duo from Sondrio, north of Italy, brings us their first physical release in the shape of a flexi 7" with 4 tracks (+intro) of crispy, sort of claustrophobic, mid-tempo distorted punk. 80's italian punk/hardcore is a great source of desperate atmospheres fed on dissonances, noisy backgrounds, chaotic display and labyrinthine soundscapes. Bands like Wretched, Impact, Kina, Indigesti or Dioxina were some of the true masters at the craft. Althought Scalpo doesn't sound like any of the mentioned above, they have no problem in taking various influences of crude and bleak music, drinking from different sources to shape up their own "Psicoguerra Punk", gloomy mid-tempo distorted punk full of angst and desperation. Just take as an example the song "Illusioni", a 1:19 minutes track with 6 different parts that don't repeat: no chorus, no verse, fuck that. Just 6 unique slaps of raw awesomeness. Listening to it it's like not knowing where the fuck you are going but enjoying the ride to the max.

[engl] Another great band from the town of Bermeo!!! These 4 tracks were released in june on a self-released demo tape and now we are doing a beautiful vinyl version. Great bare-knuckle rock'n'roll mixed with punk/oi! influences, raw and unpolished sonic aggression, perfect soundtrack for street brawls and barfights. Raspy vocals, chainsaw guitars with awesome riffing, pummeling rhythm section with great basslines and full of tricks drum work.

[engl] If there’s one band that surprised us in 2020, it must have been STRIKEFIRST! Their debut, the mini-album “WOLVES”, sold out in a heartbeat and we instantly had to do a second run (of 500 copies this time around, just to be sure) to keep up with the demand. With STRIKEFIRST’s full-length debut “WAR” front man, vocalist and lead-guitarist Wynn (Drink & Destroy Crew aka DDC and Fatskins) and co. most definitely released their best work… EVER! “WAR” contains everything we love in a modern day Oi!/streetpunk band and it’s delivered with sheer power and brilliancy! Everything is right from start to finish on this LP with songs that are extremely strong, powerful melodies that will last a lifetime and a massive – though not over-produced – sound that will make your ears ring until you’re deaf or dead!

[engl] The 5 titles of the first group oi! Parisian gathered for the first time on a disc. The 3 titles of the “Paris Mix” compilation and the 2 titles never released before our first prod, picture EP long out of print. Opening booklet with history and unpublished photos. Reissue carried out in close collaboration with the former members of the group.

[engl] Between the quays, the docks, the cranes and the Brest arsenal, it’s been almost 10 years since Syndrome 81 got down to the heavy task of bringing 80's punk rock up to date. In just a few EPs, the band has become one of the best representatives of a new French scene internationally. Syndrome 81 manages the perfect blend of various influences of the second punk wave, from the american hardcore of Negative Approach to the french punk-rock of Camera Silens by way of the cold english punk of Blitz. Like an endless wandering in a drifting society, Syndrome 81’s music and lyrics are rough and cold. With Prisons Imaginaires, the songs become even more effective, and we can already imagine the next shows where the public will sing along to the brilliantly formulated refrains. Syndrome 81 describes the spleen of everyday life and the boredom of life in Brest, far from everything, like no other. Syndrome 81's first full length was long overdue but this time was used wisely to deliver a perfect album.

[engl] “Beton Nostalgie” LP is a collection of songs released on various EP and split records 18 songs from their Demo, Litovsk split, UVPR compilation song, Desert Urbain, BMAB single serie and Urban Savage split. It is coming in a gatefold jackets with awesome drawing by All Cats Are Grey France’s Syndrome 81 started gaining momentum in the Punk scene with their 2013 demo tape, drawing comparisons to the plethora of great bands that defined the French Oi sound of the 1980s with a heavy stomp culled from classic USHC. The band has progressed since then, and the sound is more diverse but also more defined, having filed off some of the American influences and moved in a darker, distinctly French direction that is both melancholy and anthemic, with lyrics being influenced by growing up in Brest, France. The band comes from this dark place and write songs about their personal struggles growing up and growing old. These are songs about watching your friends lose sight and move on while you question why you are still here, haunted by your past and having to look your former self in the eye while you apologize for who you’ve become. These are songs about trudging through a desert you built yourself.

[engl] First, only and posthumous release of this great band from Brittany almost kept in total obscurity, 4 tracks of pure finesse, playing a sort of gloomy and melancholic OI! sung in french with post-punk influences. An elegant and desperate musical manifesto of class warfare and youth rage, a sonic punch right in the face of the bourgeoisie, melodic and menacing at the same time. We released this records once the band was long gone and to the surprise of their bandmembers for our interest but we felt this great music couldn't be left just wandering about in the digital universe, so here you go a vin

[engl] Vinyl version of this album originally released as a CD in 2012 by the band themselves and the distro/label Unión Y Difusión from Argentina. 14 tracks of pure anthemic punk-rock/oi!, full of sing-a-longs and gang chorus, perfect for terrace ambiance or bar amusement. For fans of Cock Sparrer and the likes.

[engl] Originally released as a CD in 2016 by the band themselves and Unión y Difusión 'zine and distro. More Pubrock and less Punkrock than "Esto Es Nuestro" album, but as catchy as the previous album. Musically is more elaborated, there's more guitar work, kinda more street-rocko'n'roll than Punk/Oi! Lyrics still pointing out social, political and other issues related to the normal life of argentinian working class lads.

[engl] The second 7" of the Parisians, who imposed their style in the new French scene. Their most accomplished record so far, both for the music and the lyrics.

[engl] Cobra Jaune Skins on the attack! Debut release from this new band from Belgium made up by ¾ of INSTRUCTOR members swapping instruments. I was lucky enough to attend their first gig in a dirty, smelly, smokey and packed basement of a Brussels squat in December '21 when on tour with CUERO and REVERTT, and that was the perfect atmosphere to match their raw and uncompromising musical assault. This debut 7" EP contains 6 tracks of some sort of mix between abrassive mid-tempo Hardcore and negative-vibes-only OI! with lyrics full of bitterness and angst sung in French.
