The Oi! Show - 3/27/15




















Sometimes called street punk, sometimes called a sling blade, Oi! approached the punk ideology and core values more literally than many of its sub-genre contemporaries. While the Oi! scene has endured a lot of public misperception and the generally limited interest in punk rock, it has continued to stay strong and tightly knit throughout the years. Plenty of original bands still play and plenty of new ones continue to form. In fact, I really came nowhere close to capturing the entirety of the Oi! sound. I just tried to represent some of the classics and some of what I personally happen to like.

Feel free to capture what I captured by clicking on the link below and downloading my show:

The UK Punk Explosion - 3/13/15



















I guess I could have called it "UK Punk Scene" or "UK Punk Movement" but sometimes things (and people) just explode. And if any music scene exploded, it probably would have been that initial wave of punk bands over in the UK during the mid-70s. Great Britain was by not so great anymore, young people were pissed, and rock 'n' roll was no longer the voice of social change and revolution. Then came the Sex Pistols and shortly thereafter, explosion. Fashion, culture, music, art as we know it - none of these things would ever be the same again.

To listen to this explosion relatively damage-free, click on the link below:
