Oi! from U.S
(A bootleg celebrating bands that can ignore the big bad violent skinhead cliché and actually does something new with songs you never thought they listened to in the first place.)
The artists that get covered are: Gloria Jones, Elton John, Kim Wilde, Bon Jovi, Blondie, The who, Sam Cooke, Bob Marley, The Undertones, Jim Carrol band, Buddy Holly, Merle haggard, Peter paul and mary, The stranglers, Fleetwood mac, Hank williams.
Go here for full bandhistory and discography of the bands who appear on this bootleg. You can also listen to all the original artists there.

Your cover of Bad moon rising will be on Vol.2. My dream though is hearing an Oi! version of A king at night by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. I am thinking of starting a skinhead cover band haha.
ReplyDeleteCheck the song out for size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSrVf20Wx_o
Sam and I have discussed this before, but I want an Oi! version of "I Love It Loud" by KISS.

That would work.
ReplyDeleteHow about TOTO - Africa? I can see Sam going crazy on that track.
Ummm...TOTO may be a little bit of a stretch for me...but Sam may be into it. Just a little too "cheesy 80's rock", I think.
