Description
Oi was fun, but it was never too interesting as a punk subgenre. Mostly it was about going to the pub, drinking at the pub, and getting banned from the pub. Oh, and football - always with the football. But Mickey Fitz's band The Business was always a cut above. Their song "Oi the Poet" gave the entire style a legitimate reason to exist, and they're always pissed (in both senses of the word) for the right reasons: they stand up for the underdog, rail against injustice and paint an adrenaline-charged portrait of life in working-class Britain. And they were able to turn even the Smiths' "Panic" into a punk anthem. And there's still plenty of time for the pub, and the football. The Forgotten and Sad Boy Sinister open. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.comMore Info
