Ras Muhamad

Ras Muhamad is from Jakarta and is a bit of a depature from my usual posts. Not only is Ras Muhamad influenced by ska and reggae but also a more modern hip-hop sound. Some of you won't like some of the tracks but track 7 "Leaving Babylon" makes the whole album worth downloading. I love that song and if you like ska/reggae you will too.

Anger Flares

It’s my first post in “my” new blog, so I have to start with great music.
Anger Flares is a great Oi! Band from Japan. They sound like the traditional english bands, with lots of sing alongs and street anthems.
They have released 2 albums (“Begin to Walk” & “A Way of Life”), a split with Clash Dogs, and were part of many compilations, like the famous anti fascist compilation “Class Pride Worldwide Vol. 3”.
The members of this band call themselves SHARP skinheads, but it’s a very controversial label. Some people say that they hang around with members of bands like United We Stand and The Hawks, both part of the nationalist japanese skinhead movement.
They use to have a website and a myspace page, but both are down, don’t know why. But if you want:

Hide – guitar

Pon-chang – drums



This is their first and best album. If you like traditional european Oi!, you’ll like this.

Tracklist:
01-United forceful youth
02-Oi! will never die
03-Begin to walk
04-The reason for living is there
05-Get over the wall
06-A way of life
07-Making noise tonight

The Gangs

The Gangs are an Oi! band from Depok. They have a much heavier sound then most of the other Indonesian Oi! bands. They are also incredible. They have an album called "Welcome To The 3rd World Country" but I have never gotten my hands on a copy. This just a small collection of the songs I do have. They all are stand out, but I think Rock the Booze gets the head nod from me.

The Fishka is a traditional Skinhead Reggae/ska band from Bekasi. They formed in 1997 and have been featured on one comp, "Together As One II". They have also recorded one album, "One Love, One Heart, One Family" in 2002 on The Fishka & Lion's Roar Records. They lost the DAT tape for their recordings and moved to a new record label, Warrior Records, to re-release their album. The Fishka were the second Indonesian skin band that I ran across and I feel in love with them. They play great traditional music with actual intelligent lyrics. Stupid Law is my favorite track.

Bretel

Bretel is the first Oi! band from Jakarta, Indonesia that I came upon a few years ago. They are amazing. Bretel formed in 2000 with the first line-up of Eday (vocals/bass), Aziz (guitars/vocals), and QQ (drums). They covered The Oppressed, The Business, and other Oi! and punk bands. They recorded 14 songs in 2002 but didn't release them. In 2005 they recorded 8 more Oi! songs and released the album Working Class Skinhead on WC Recs. Brotherhood is my favorite track off that release. Eday then became the vocalist and they added K-dir on bass. Since several members of the new line-up had a love for skinhead reggae and ska, those influences were added to their music. Bretel then adopted the motto FROM Oi! TO SKINHEAD REGGAE and named their next album after it. The album is split into two sides, with one being more Oi! influenced and one being more reggae influence. Proud is the stand out track to me and I must have listened to it a hundred times by now. If you like the music QQ is a reliable guy and loves trades so contact him.
