Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ogre came out of Letterkenny in the late 1980s with a lineup that included Steve Rapid on vocals, Decky McAleer on lead guitar, Micky Crossan on rhythm guitar, Michael McLaughlin on bass, and Paul Curran on drums. They put out records like the 1989 EP 'Holy War' and albums such as 'The Devil's Playground' in 1991 and 'The Other Side of the Tracks' in 1993.
Their songs often dealt with heavy subjects in blunt language. Other songs like 'Jerusalem' and 'The Ballad of the Irish Slave' looked at political and economic issues. This direct approach made them a polarizing presence in Irish punk.
They released more albums through the mid-90s, including 'Irish Slave' in 1995 and 'The Next Big Thing' in 1997. The band's willingness to tackle uncomfortable topics in a raw, confrontational style resonated with some listeners and drew criticism from others.
