A Scottish punk band that formed in the late 1980s and has never softened its political edge.
If you want to hear what they're about, put on 'Nazi Scum' or 'Break The Mould.' That's the sound of a band that hasn't changed its mind.
Oi Polloi matters because they've always been blunt about where they stand. Songs like 'Nazi Scum' and 'Apartheid Stinx' left no room for doubt, and they kept playing shows even when the police and far-right groups tried to shut them down. Their music is raw and direct, a soundtrack for people who want to fight back.
They started in Scotland in the late 1980s with Deek Allen on vocals. Over the years, they put out albums like 'Oi Polloi' in 1990 and 'Fire and Vengeance' in 2004, with a lineup that stayed pretty steady. They've always played at protests and fundraisers, never drifting from their anti-fascist message.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
