Crass Course: Street Punk & Oi! 

I feel like this is a no-brainer for anyone from this part of the country who's versed in underground history. Different artistic manifestations of the same struggles and emotions- Punk and Hip Hop will always be twin flames (Edit; when I say "this part of the country" I'm speaking as someone from the NY Metro area lol)

It's like that with metal to some degree too. But only the types of metal that are rooted in punk like thrash. That's why bands like Anthrax and Slayer have always been able to work with rappers and have it sound great.

Very true. Oxymoron is my fav. Streetpunk/oi band

their bassist is also tough. also, sucker is a good lad. in 2001 n 2002, before id go to school id email every band with contact info i could find, and sucker always wrote back. him and bart from antidote. oxymoron are one of [and maybe THE best in my opinion] the greatest oi punk bands in the genre. i frequently find myself wishing i had been born 5 years earlier and could've seen them in the 90s. bad co project are good, but just not the same.

Not hard to be the best streetpunk drummer of all time. Most can't play at all.

@@SxSxG666 fuck that. double kicks are easy, but oxymorons drummer really was in another league. just like Tony from red alert, on guitars. outliers.

@@teiwaztim1482 True Björn seperates from other drummers of the genre. He is the one eyed among the blind ;)

Tell your Dad how much you love him. I’ve no doubt you’ve told him, but always nice to hear again.

@@bayersbluebayoubioweapon8477 I definitely will. And you’re right! That’s something that’s always been common in my parents place growing up, we always told each other “I love you”. Lost my little sister when I was 14 and after that we needed to be strong and stick together! I appreciate everything my dad and mom have done for me! Really great people!

Your dad sounds fucking solid man, good shit

@@voidofhope6259 He definitely is, wouldn’t be the man I am today with him! Been to so many shows and met so many people because of him too 🤘🏻

My favorite story of the Exploited I've heard was when they played that song in NYC, probably CBGB's. And Harley Flanagan tackled him on the stage. He kept his other skinhead bros at bay but told Wattie "watch where the fuck you are".😂🇺🇸

@EddieOakes - Love Patriot. We the people was a great record. There are not enough words for how awesome cohesion is. C.H.B.C. from another dead generation was another badass song.

I remember The Detonators.

I saw you play in Edmonton, Canada in a church basement probably '85 ish, small world.

Totally agree, PRMBA is such a poser.

@@FGP_Pro i dont think poser is even the right word. he just doesnt make good content. he constantly contradicts himself, focuses wayyy too much of spotify numbers, is ignorant towards feedback, and it all just feels so inauthentic. this channel however does things coming from pure passion and doesn't feel the need to water things down. we need more channels like this and not the punkrockmba!!!

@@kingink7964 A huge part of the punk aesthetic is making music for "us" people who don't fit into the corporate mold. Artists who could not get their art published and distributed. So, we did it ourselves. We made our own magazines, our own record companies, our own fashion. He is in it for the money, hence his MBA. He doesn't get the (counter) culture, he just pretends to. That pretending is the reason that his content is bad. As you said, "it all just feels so inauthentic" that is the definition of "poser", inauthentic.

I think he's knowledgeable, particularly around the business side of things, but he's one of those people who insists people into music he doesn't like must like it for some other reason, and spends most of his time moaning about bands and fans of those bands as a result.

man I was thinking the same thing. That's why this guy needs to be bigger

Reducers sf and the Harrington saints are fantastic. Plus darkbuster a weakness for the spirits is a must for anyone into punk along with 22 songs you'll never want to hear again.

I'm digging the love Reducers SF are getting here. Was always on of my favorite bands.

@@paddyoflaherty2519 Hell yeah! Reducers SF! I remember when they originally went by The Reducers, right? Then there was another band with the same name?

THE BEST US Oi album ever. ;)

Thanks!!

Wearing their shirt now 👊

I'm old enough to be your little cousin who would bring over blank tapes and neg you to fill them up.

You calling yourself a punker tells us everything we need to know

@@rosema7909 Any questions?

Totally! They we’re definitely my intro to harder Street Punk, Crust Punk, D Beat, Etc. Probably deserve a video of their own

@@thepunkhistorian6397 an interesting streetpunk band I found recently is the Whiskey Rebels. Definitely recommend checking them out

The casualties! Hell's yes! Back in the late 90s early 2000s my first punk rock band played a show with them at a tiny dive bar/hall in Grand Rapids, Mi lol. I had been wearing a Blatz beer t-shirt and one of the members came up and we chatted about the bands blatz and filth being cooler than the beer lmfao!! Anyways, he ended up buying the shirt from me for like $10-$15 bucks. 😊😆

NOI!SE.. hell yeah.. Oi Oi Oi from Orange County California

Cheers 🤙🏻

Skrewdriver had some great songs

Ofcourse it is...and whoever tries to deny it is a c.u.n.t! First Skrewdriver album is an undeniable classic! End of story!

I'm 41 now. Been a punk rocker/skinhead since I was 17 years old. Never let the music to dictate my political personal views...Even though I'm right wing person today (not a NAZI though)...still listen to PUNK ROCK from both sides of the political spectrum... Regardless of being right wing I like to listen to leftist bands like e.g. the Oppressed, Angelic Upstarts or The Clash, Crass, or Conflict....I think they play good music and f..cking great punk rock...I also listen to bands like Skrewdriver both punk stuff and nazi stuff...also Kill Baby Kill, Skullhead, No Remorse...or even Landser... MUSIC NEVER DEFINED MY POLITICAL VIEWS...I listen to all punk music...from leftists like Clash, Crass, Conflict, Oppressed, Angelic Upstarts, Los Fastidios, Belarusian Mister X (very SHARP band), through the classics like Cockney Rejects, Cock Sparrer, Sham 69, 4 Skins, The Exploited, G.B.H., Chelsea, The Boys, Generation X, Cyanide, 999, Combat 84, Condemned 84, Infa Riot, etc. and finishing with the bands like Skrewdriver, Skullhead, No Remorse...etc. It's only music at the end of the day....and you need to be a sad person if you let your personal or political views be influenced by the music you listen...

@@Smalec77 I'm right there with ya. I like it all from Anarcho punk to RAC. KBK is fuckin'awesome!

@@petepersimmons7938 My man! ;))

Heck, let's remember that metal as we know it is massively informed by punk. From NWOBHM to thrash to metalcore, the influence has come full circle so pivotally that it's hard to imagine where metal would be without it. I say we all owe a tip of that hat at bare minimum. 😎

@@sirfizz6518 I don't really care about much else. Not that I don't care. I just absolutely love music overall, primarily metal. 🤔🥰🤗💖🇨🇦😎🤘🏻🖤🎶

🤘🏻🧑🏻‍🎤

Lookout records is a video idea I’ve had in my back pocket for a while now

Amen mate...

My fav streetpunk band along with the Blitz.

@@mehmetozguraydin8987 same here. I was lucky to see them back in 2002 at the Showcase in Corona, CA
