Some I've heard, some I haven't. Some are sketchier than others. I used to get into a lot of this kind of thing but don't like a lot of it these
days. Iron Cross, for instance, seemed so overrated once I heard them, since the quality and sound was total shit. However, they are fun to see
these days with Sab singing and decent backing musicians.
If you're into Templars and Oxblood, maybe check out Bottom of the Barrel? Never hunted down anything from BotB, but the shared some members and were
into the stripped-down right-wing Oi from what I understand.
Battlecry is another possibility. Punkcore released a full discography on one album. I think Phil Templar played drums for them at some point, and
they recently did some reunion shows.
Paxton Boys, to my knowledge, only did a 7", but it has four good songs.
If you like Wretched Ones or Niblick Henbane, check out anything on Headache Records.
Red, White, and Blue put out some stuff on, I think, Pure Impact. You might like it (or hate it).
Youth Defense League straddled the line between Oi and hardcore. Damn near every recording sounds like ass, but there are versions of Old Glory and
New Glory which are worth seeking out.
The first Pressure Point and first two Patriot albums are pretty raw Oi. I like the later stuff from both, but they don't retain the raw late-80s
sound you're asking about.
Hunt down a list of the old GMM Records discography. They put out a lot of good releases in the 90s.
I still love Stormwatch and need to get the new album released this year.
Brass Tacks "Just the Facts" is late 90s but still has some good tracks.
There is a bootleg for The Uprise ("Friends, Fights, and Fun"?) that floats around. Some of those guys were in New Glory.
If you want some more recent stuff that has the same ultra-patriotic and right-wing stance, check out Hated and Proud's "Let Freedom Reign" or the
American Defense Records releases.
Vulture Rock Records also put out lots of good (and probably lots more bad) albums.
If you check out anything and like it, let me know. I can try to point you to other stuff. |
