RAC/Oi!

Uncompromising German rock production from the band from the Saxon town of Hoyerswerda. Life-affirming texts with identification potential to the power of 10 plus professional music that sticks in your ear canal. The disc was first released on CD in 1999 and marked the second album by the musicians who previously made the instruments sound in Bollwerk. The boys have mastered their musical craft and therefore clearly do not fall under the label “rumpel rock”, but rather deliver solid melodies and snappy guitar solos.

For the first time on vinyl! Official and only authorized Holsteiner Jungs re-release, no bootleg pressing, no “private edition,” and no “imported fan edition” from dubious scene crooks at brothel prices!

The Holsteiner Jungs released the material recorded in the fall of 1997 at Vanguard Studio as their fourth album, “Flaschen & Fäuste,” on Walhalla Records (a sub-label of Rock-o-Rama) in the spring of 1998. Kai Stüwe of Freikorps and his fellow musicians didn’t hold back, delivering their most musically coherent work to date. Bright, melodic guitars pounded at a nice pace, matching the ribald lyrics, marked by anger at the bourgeois world with a healthy dose of bite!

The Holstein boys followed up their second work with this release in 1997. The debut album “Back on the Streets” had already been released a year earlier, which received a lot of positive feedback. As is well known, the Holsteiner Jungs were another band of Freikorps frontman Kai Stüwe. The Holstein boys’ music sounded similar, but less melodic than Freikorps, but it came across as a bit harder and snottier. Compared to the main band, the lyrics were more street-oriented and socially critical. All in all, the rough lyrics are characterized by anger at the bourgeois world with a good dose of bite!

In addition to the six songs from the mini-CD / mini-LP at the time, it also contains 4 more songs as a treat on top: two songs from the first Skrewdriver LP on ROR (H.t.n.d. from 1984) and from the third Skrewdriver LP (W.R. from 1987 ). Namely “Justice” plus “If there is a riot” as well as “Behind the bars” and “I can see the fire”. The record in this version was actually supposed to be released in 2022, but unfortunately it has only now made it to the public eye because other re-releases had priority.

Officially available on vinyl for the first time since 1986 on Rock-O-Rama Records! Founded in 1981, the then young patriotic musicians sang about their own life experiences and the things that were happening around them. The fact that they had to watch their once great country violently decline under the Tory government of Margaret Thatcher tore their hearts.

Their first, long-awaited album “Reveal All!” was only released in 1985, after the band had released a double A-side single called “Riots/A Matter of Time” on their own label “IndEx Records” at the end of 1983. “Reveal All!” is classic Oi! Music in its rawest form with titles like “A Way of Life” and “Bank Holiday” to harder songs like “I won’t let my Country die” and “Save the Nation”. In 1985/86 the local Oi! Scene has probably reached its lowest point. At a gig in Tufnell Park, North London, singer Steve Reeve got into an argument with hardliners in attendance. One of these idiots threw a bottle while Indecent Exposure were playing their set, Steve’s head was hit and slashed. In Hardcore Oi! Indecent Exposure finished their concert in a similar manner and then jumped into the crowd to find the bottle thrower. But in true low-life fashion, the culprit had crawled back into the hole he came from. Later that night, Steve was taken to the hospital where he received twelve stitches in his head.

The official New Glory reissue on the original label – no bootlegging, no “private edition,” and no “imported fan edition” from dubious scene crooks at bargain basement prices! The 1988 debut album by the American Oi! band from Philadelphia. The combo is considered by some to be the best American Oi! band of the 80s. After the breakup of “The Uprise,” Matt Andrews and Rob Daly formed the band NEW GLORY together with their good friends Fran Sherlock (vocals) and Todd Forkin (guitar). Unfortunately, the band only existed for two years, and “Backlash” was their only release.

OHL, the pioneers of “hardcore punk”, attracted maximum attention with their debut album “Heimatfront” in 1981, which was partly due to their polarizing lyrics. Titles like “Germany”, “Kernkraftknight”, “We are the Unrepaired” or “Embassy Song”, which openly called for the storming of the American embassy, ​​did the rest to spread the word in all ideological directions. However, this was not well received by hotheads on the left and right. When the record was made in the early 1980s, punks were already oriented towards the left of the political spectrum, while skinheads were committed to the right. Although the band was considered “Nazis” by leftists and “ticks” by rightists, the Supreme Army Command, or rather their mastermind Deutscher W, never let themselves be dissuaded from their chosen path – always go straight, never turn! Ok, these days certain concessions are necessary in order to get a foot on the ground in the left-green, polluted cultural world, but what does it matter to the enterprising record collector who wants to complete his personal vinyl oeuvre with this repress?

Released on LP in 1986 and re-released on CD in 1995, this patriotic British Oi! Tape. Incidentally, “England’s Glory” was recorded and mixed by none other than Mark Sutherland in the legendary “Bunker Croydon” recording studio. Sutherland has already brought his musical expertise to bear on other important records (including serving as Skrewdriver drummer on their “Hail the New Dawn” album). Unfortunately, “England’s Glory” has been somewhat forgotten between all the releases back then, which does a complete injustice to the musical achievements of this band. Reason enough to release “England’s Glory” on vinyl again!
