\u201cAntifascist Oi! \u2013 Live And Loud!!\u201d is not the first, and most likely not the last one either, live album by Cardiff\u2019s own, The Oppressed. But it indeed is the latest live album by the veterans of antifascist Oi!, that was recently released on CD as a joint-release between Aggrobeat Records and Rusty Knife.<\/p>\n
With a total of twenty-two songs, each one following the other up in a rapid speed, \u201cAntifascist Oi! \u2013 Live And Loud!!\u201d provides you with a whole lot of bang for your buck! Recorded live in Freiburg (Germany) on the 24th of November in 2012, both the quality of the recordings and selection of songs is absolutely top-notch, providing exactly what you want to hear, a collection of typical \u2018The Oppressed-ified\u2019 covers and smashing classics from the 80\u2019s (and 90\u2019s)!<\/p>\n
But even with the addition of this CD, I can count all The Oppressed\u2019s releases in my collection on one hand. I never particularly been a fan of the band, but when you fiercely kick-off your live-set with anthems like \u201cWork Together\u201d and \u201cUltra Violence\u201d, the tone for the rest of this live album is immediately set. Mostly filled with tracks from the classic debut \u201cOi! Oi! Music!\u201d and 1996\u2019s \u201cMusic For Hooligans\u201d, it\u2019s a feast of recognition with \u201cRun From You\u201d, \u201cSleeping With The Enemy\u201d, \u201cLiving With Unemployment\u201d, \u201cUrban Soldiers\u201d, \u201cJoe Hawkins\u201d, \u201cHooligans\u201d, \u201cVictims\u201d, \u201cWe\u2019re The Oppressed\u201d\u2026 and then there are seven more covers that anyone into Oi!, punk and ska will recognize!<\/p>\n
Just make sure that your throat is scraped and there is a drink in reach, because you\u2019ll find yourself singing along almost instantly until the final chords fade away! Oi! Oi!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
