The Opressed
So I've been drinking for the last few hours and listening to all the bands in "back in the day threads." Along with Fear, DK, NA, etc I've listening
to a lot of old oi. That brings me to the Opressed. I LOVE this band so much. "Joe Hawkins" and "We're the Opressed" are such amazing tracks.

They have 2 Oppressed cd's that cover their entire career, both originals and covers.

I've always loved this band, they're so much better than all the shitty throwaway Oi bands like Condemned 84 and all the rest of those dodgy
fencesitters like that.

Sacrilege!!
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

I'd take Condemned 84 over The Opressed any day.
Never was big on 'em.

I'd take a full length CD of the sound of someone with bad beer shits over Condemned 84 any day of the week. I love Oi, but that band is fucking
unlistenable and the sketchy politics make 'em even worse. Honestly, I hate white power and all of it's various offshoots, but I have much more
respect for a band that will come out and admit that they subscribe to that bullshit than one that plays fencesitter games.

I prefer that to Roddy and his AFA bullshit, he's ten times worse.

At least he's up front about his beliefs and is trying to do something to make a change. Oh yeah, and at least he actually makes good music.

There's being up front and there's never shutting the fuck up. Don't get me wrong I'm a big Oppressed fan but I'm a bigger Condemned 84 fan. I've
never much cared about a bands politics. Roddy's pretty relentless though.

Fair enough, we both have our sticking points with politics in music. I just could never understand how anybody could enjoy Condemned 84 from a
musical standpoint either. They're like the epitome of a dumbed down stereotype of Oi to me.

I always thought it was ARA. I've never heard the term AFA.

Indeed. I love the Oppressed. I need to spin some of their shit tomorrow.
