When this disc first saw the light of day in 1992, the album hit like a bomb. The musical comparison was too blatant in contrast to what had previously populated the sound grooves and CDs of the relevant labels, no strumming and noise, but razor-sharp guitar riffs and rock-hard drum sounds. And with a vehemence that the inclined consumer was only used to from heavy metal groups from professional studios up to this point. It’s been a long time! Anyone who wasn’t there back then is welcome to grab it today and treat themselves to these pleasant metal showers again (or for the first time?).

Due to the increasingly narrow corridor of opinion in the Federal Republic of Germany in 2019, accompanied by politically desired criminal prosecution, two songs unfortunately had to be removed compared to the original CD. The tracks “The boat is full” and “Why do you stay silent?” are NOT included on this record!

In 1989, Brutal Attack released their third and best LP “Tales Of Glory” on Rock-O-Rama Records. This release highlighted the band’s leading role within the second generation of rock-against-communism bands such as No Remorse, Skullhead, Sudden Impact, English Rose etc. As an album, “Tales Of Glory” is chock-full of well-crafted, catchy, beautifully melodic ones Anthems (such as the truly impressive ballad “Ocean Of Warriors”) and aggressive Oi!/Rock hits about standing up for the preservation of one’s own nation (“England”). The first song, the fast-paced and insanely catchy “Tales of Glory”, is a quintessentially traditional RAC classic, while tracks like “While The Flame Burns” and “Raise The Fist” subtly but directly address questions of identity and anti -Address immigration topics (without insults or mentions of specific population groups).

When the English RAC was enjoying its impressive heyday 40 years ago with bands like Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack, No Remorse, Squadron and Skullhead, France also had its music groups that received great attention across national borders: Evil Skins, Legion88, Bunker84, Kontingen88 and the said BRUTAL COMBAT. Their powerful music was always a reflection of the harsh everyday life on the street. Honest, straightforward music that didn’t sugarcoat anything and implanted barbs in the listener’s brain as the sounds directly amounted to a slap in the face.

How-please-what?! Rock-O-Rama Records has re-released “Der Clou” and surely half of the songs are missing? Nope, just a song. Four songs had to be minimally edited digitally. Prosecutors, youth protectors and “democracy promoters” (all male/female/male) will vomit. And with what? Rightly! Please move on, there is nothing to see or find anything criminally relevant here.

With “Der Clou” in 1987, Endstufe released a real album of the century in the Oi! / Skinhead music sector, but the distribution of the record was abruptly stopped a few years later. A federal authority responsible for morality and decency found in the 12 panel that this record was unsuitable for young people and “socio-ethically disorienting.” Or as we would say: “The Clou” is the ultimate soundtrack for everyone who has and lives the feeling that they don’t fit into the norm and celebrate their non-conformity hard!

Originally released in 1996, the classic Endstufe album is available again on LP with his original artwork.

The Easter Bunny has laid a very big egg in our nest: The next milestone in the final discography, hot off the press from the Rock-O-Rama record factory, directly to your gift table. The second power amplifier album “Skinhead Rock’n’Roll” was forced to disappear into obscurity for a “good” 30 years. Now it has risen like the Phoenix from the ashes to spin blissfully on your turntable.

Two songs were dropped compared to the 1st edition, three new songs were added. Two of them were recorded with this album at the time, but were released for singles or samplers. Both are now included on this disc, plus another bonus track. The nine songs at the time became ten on this edition of “Skinhead Rock’n’Roll”, Edition 2023, four of which had to be minimally edited digitally.

The Holstein boys followed up their second work with this release in 1997. The debut album “Back on the Streets” had already been released a year earlier, which received a lot of positive feedback. As is well known, the Holsteiner Jungs were another band of Freikorps frontman Kai Stüwe. The Holstein boys’ music sounded similar, but less melodic than Freikorps, but it came across as a bit harder and snottier. Compared to the main band, the lyrics were more street-oriented and socially critical. All in all, the rough lyrics are characterized by anger at the bourgeois world with a good dose of bite!

Ian Stuart Donaldson’s first and best solo album from 1989. The “No turning back” LP was released shortly after the “After the Fire” album, and like that LP it is punkier than most of Skrewdriver’s later material. And while much of this LP is hard rock, some songs are Oi!-heavy: “Fortress Europe”, “Battle Cries” and especially “Firepower” sound like what Skrewdriver played on the “Hail the New Dawn” LP. Even the title track, despite being based on a metal riff, is less than two minutes long and has a lot of punk anger. “Campaign in the East” is one of Ian Stuart’s best hard rock compositions, not only on this album but in general.

In addition to the six songs from the mini-CD / mini-LP at the time, it also contains 4 more songs as a treat on top: two songs from the first Skrewdriver LP on ROR (H.t.n.d. from 1984) and from the third Skrewdriver LP (W.R. from 1987 ). Namely “Justice” plus “If there is a riot” as well as “Behind the bars” and “I can see the fire”. The record in this version was actually supposed to be released in 2022, but unfortunately it has only now made it to the public eye because other re-releases had priority.

Officially available on vinyl for the first time since 1985 on Rock-O-Rama Records! Founded in 1981, the then young patriotic musicians sang about their own life experiences and the things that were happening around them. The fact that they had to watch their once great country violently decline under the Tory government of Margaret Thatcher tore their hearts.

The first Kroizfoier LP is the perfect choice for anyone who loves hard, unadulterated skin rock from the early 1990s. The band from Saxony caused a sensation at the time with their aggressive sound and politically provocative lyrics. With songs like “True Values” and “Eternal Life” Kroizfoier perfectly reflected the zeitgeist of 1992. So if you’re looking for a record that will transport you and make you think, then the first Kroizfoier LP is just the thing for you. Get your copy now and get ready for an unforgettable listening experience.

The official New Glory re-release on the original label – no pirated pressing, no “private edition” and no “imported fan edition” from dubious scene crooks at brothel prices!

The 1988 debut album by the American Oi! Band from Philadelphia. The combo is considered by some to be the best American Oi! Band of the 80s. After the group “The Uprise” broke up, Matt Andrews and Rob Daly founded the band NEW GLORY together with their good friends Fran Sherlock (vocals) and Todd Forkin (guitar). Unfortunately, the band only existed for two years and “Backlash” was their only release.
