Holland - Oi!
Oi! is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in
the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. It fused
sounds of early punk bands such as, The Clash,
with 1960s British rock bands like, The Who.
Many fans of the subgenre were involved with
white nationalist organizations. This caused the
media to label the genre as a whole, racist. Garry
Bushell was a journalist who actively advocated
against the racism claims, and promoted Oi!.
The Oi! movement eventually lost momentum in
the United Kingdom. However, Oi! bands began
to sprout up in other places around the world
during the 1980s. Areas like North America,
Europe, and Asia. Many of the bands credited the
early Oi! bands out of the United Kingdom for
their inspiration. In the mid 1990s Oi! made a
comeback in the United Kingdom, and by early
2000s many of the original bands came back
together to perform, and record music.
Oi!
Two of the original Oi! bands were, Cock Sparrer,
and Sham 69. Both bands were created around the
year 1975, and by late 1970s had a decent sized
fan base in the United Kingdom. The Cock
Sparrers created what is considered the best Oi!
album, Shock Troops, which consisted of songs
such as: Riot Squad, Take Em’ All, and We’re
Coming Back.
More Interesting Facts

before their genre of music was deemed a
name.

Rejects, who would use the term OI! before
