The Oppressed - Fight For Your Life: The Best Of The Oppressed - 12" LP
This band should need absolutely no introduction. Having formed in 1981 in Cardiff, Wales, The Oppressed instantly gained legendary status not only for their music which was rough and tough as nails, but also for their position and stance in the world-wide skinhead scene. Not afraid to take a stand, The Oppressed were proud of their skinhead style and very vocal and active about protecting it from the infiltration of ‘boneheads’ and right-wing politics. Lead singer Roddy was instrumental in the promotion of the SHARP (SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice) movement and even started his own record labels (Oi! Records and Ska Records) long before it became the norm and the trend for “indie labels” to exist.
