‘We are everything that scares curtain twitchers’: the bands resurrecting the spirit of Oi!

The hardcore movement grew from working-class angst in the late-70s, but got tainted by racist aggro. Now a new wave of bands are reviving its cathartic anger – without the far-right associations

Yep I remember him. Do you remember the record shop The Macc Lads had on Sunderland Street in Macclesfield? Probably in the early Eighties I think.

Really enjoying these at the moment. Weird thing, they sound better in session than on record I think

Saw them a few times. Once in Blackpool and a couple of times at the Star and Garter in town. Great gigs. I think Mike Drone sadly passed a few years ago.

I never got a chance to see them myself. Great album back in the olden days. I would have picked it up at virgin on Lever street or the underground market.
