The Steady Boys – “Roots”
Record Label: Do the Dog Records
Genre: Ska
Band Link: www.myspace.com/thesteadyboysuk
The Steady Boys are a bit of a change for Do the Dog Records in that they aren’t a full fledged ska band. The UK band has an Oi! / classic punk rock sound but there’s a few riffs that resemble ska. This debut album is definitely an impressive one!

The Last Resort – “You’ll Never Take Us – Skinhead Anthems II”
Record Label: I Scream Records
Genre: Oi!
Band Link: www.myspace.com/thelastresortuk
Buy on Amazon.com
I always like listening Oi! music but I just never listen to it as much as I used to. Perhaps the Last Resort will make me want to listen to some classic Oi! bands like The Business, Cockney Rejects and Anti-Nowhere League, and begin listening to the Last Resort. The band was formed in 1980 and only really together for a year or two. But they were considered legendary for some reason. The band played festivals on & off and things like that but it finally seems the band is getting their stuff together. 14 brand new tracks in total!

Discipline – “Anthology”
Record Label: I Scream Records
Genre: Oi!
Band Link: www.discipline.nl
Buy on Amazon.com
Discipline has been a name I’ve seen around but I never heard of their music. For the longest time, I thought they were a hardcore band. When in fact the band is from the Netherlands and an Oi!/ Punk rock band. Discipline has been on I Scream Records for 10 years, so the label decided to release an anthology of the working class band.

The Casualties new album out in August 2009
With seven albums under their collective belt and countless tours across the U.S. and Europe, South America, Japan and Mexico, it would seem hardcore punk stalwarts The Casualties have done it all. But one shouldn’t be so quick to assume anything with these guys who still have much more to bring to the punk-rock scene.

Skinheads Still Scare People – “For Life”
Record Label: Koi Records
Genre: Hardcore/Punk
Forget all that glossy over produced stuff and get back to what real music sounds like. That’s the first impression I get when I turn this thing on.
Skinheads Still Scare People got that sound that’s real and raw, no excuses, no punches pulled. The inside cover has a nice illustration of this crazy looking skinhead yelling “Oi you!!! Play this CD loud!!!”, and that’s exactly the way it should be played. It’s like your standing in the room with these two guys as they play the tunes just for you. Every beat, every chord progression you can hear and appreciate as if it were a live performance.
