| Re: Oi
I think the idea behind Oi Polloi originally was to merge straight-up punk and oi with the sound and ethos of hardcore, and so politicise what was becoming an increasingly apolitical, apathetic punk scene. Of course this isn't an aesthetic they've adhered to strictly (if at all) over the years, not least considering they formed when they were all about 15 and have gone through about 100 members since their inception, so I'd be loathe to associate them with oi save from a passing interest they had in their youth.
They're still doing well these days though, played with them about a month ago at the Subway in Edinburgh and Deek was on fine form as usual. It's nice to see one band from the "old days" that isn't embarassing themselves and reducing their set to stale nostalgia.
