Oi Polloi - The Movie, Oi Polloi has just released a documentary that deals with interviews about among many other things check it out: Oi Polloi -The Movie Finally it,s done: Two part 'rockumentary' about everyone's favourite post-oi/street crust anarcho band. Part one is the history & ideas behind the band, featuring interviews with members past & present. Part two follows Oi Polloi on the 'Ar Ceol, Ar Canan, Ar-a-mach' European tour.Shop:"oipolloithemovie bigcartel com" (put together link)
I always though the opening line to this song was " Nuclear energy is a cunt ! " LOL Anyway, its interesting that when this song came out there was very little in government policy towards exploring alternative energy. now look at the renewable sector in Europe which is growing. This band is just amazing one of the FEW UK punks I loved growing up too, such as Blitz, Conflict & oppressed.
In Greek, hoi polloi means simply "the many". (Even though hoi itself means "the", in English we almost always say "the hoi polloi".) It comes originally from the famous Funeral Oration by Pericles, where it was actually used in a positive way. Today it's generally used by people who think of themselves as superior-though it's also sometimes used in Pericles' democratic spirit. By the way, it has no relation to hoity-toity, meaning "stuck-up", which starts with the same sound but has nothing to do with Greek.
The band billed themselves in their early days as green vegan anarchist skinheads but from the first time I saw em back in 87 the sighting of a skinhead at their gigs wasa rare thing.
interesting they have a song called skinhead. not saying they are but i mean c'mon, to wonder why ppl say is just stating the obvious with no real end or point to doing so
me gusta el punk, pero lo que dice esa cancion es una mierda, la fisica nuclear es otra cosa, y que este relacionada con las esferas politicas globales es lo mas normal, si publicar un disco por medio de una compañia discografica lo es, o realizar un movimiento aparentemente anti-fascista tambien, mucho mas el ANM, la carrera armamentista atomica asi como su lado mas sensible sobre el uso de isotopos radiactivos para fines altruistas, sobrepasa cualquier contexto o perspectiva de Oi Polloi
great album, still got it in great condition! well worth looking after!!!
whiskey and weed with these guys
Seriously, they were in Norway on Karsløy festival and they just came over
Used to cover this song 10 years ago in high school. Feels just like yesterday, and I haven't listened to this song in probably 8 years.
Beautiful sound of freedom, I am from chile, alive la rebelión....
No better opening than that my droogs!
fucking good message in every song

Now take the lyrics and put them on a peaceful melody you would hear in a educative show for kids. Fits perfectly if you ask me.
YES! me too mate. CHEERS!

Alright alright
'The band has never been a "skinhead band,'
Interesting that considering most of their songs are Oi!
and they have a song called "skinhead"
