When a split 7″ works, it’s because both bands involved know exactly what they want to do — and do it without fluff. Battle Royale is just that kind of record: two no-nonsense skin-hardcore / street punk crews taking turns, each delivering short, sharp bursts built for pub shows and sweaty basements.

Brand new crew out of Canberra, Australia, but don't sleep—these guys ain't rookies. Two brothers from thrash outfit Hellbringer jumped ship to forge something meaner: old school heavy metal hammered with hardcore punk edge, no bullshit frills.

Paris Oi! crew RÉSILIENCE are back with their second slab of wax, following up that killer 2023 debut 7" that had everyone scrambling for copies. If you slept on the self-titled EP—four tracks of raw, rain-soaked Parisian street punk with an intro that literally drips autumn melancholy—you already know the deal: this ain't your average streetpunk. These lads take the melodic Oi! blueprint and crank in those unmistakable French deathrock undertones—think brooding, reverb-drenched guitar leads that slither like fog off the Seine.

In the gritty underbelly of Antwerp's punk scene, where the echoes of Oi! anthems reverberate through dimly lit pubs and tattoo parlors, Midnight Tattoo has long stood as a beacon for unapologetic streetpunk fervor. Formed in 2010 by this Belgian trio has built a reputation on raw energy, melodic hooks, and lyrics that celebrate the simple joys of camaraderie, ink, and endless nights fueled by ale. Their latest offering, Raise Your Glass, to be released in late 2025 via Contra Records, marks a triumphant return after a six-year hiatus from full-length albums, distilling the essence of their sound into a potent brew that demands to be shared with mates. I was lucky to listen to it before the releasedate and it's a banger!

Agnostic Front has been my absolute favorite band for as long as I can remember—they're not just music to me; they're the raw energy that got me through some of the darkest, roughest times in my life. Back when everything felt like it was falling apart, tracks from Another Voice or Warriors were like a battle cry, pulling me up and reminding me to fight on. Founded in 1982 as the undisputed pioneers of New York hardcore, they've embodied that street-level authenticity, turning survival struggles into battering anthems that still hit me hard today. Roger Miret's roar and Vinnie Stigma's riffs? They're like old friends who've never let me down. So when Echoes In Eternity hit via Reigning Phoenix Music on the 7th of November 2025, it was more than an album drop—it felt like a reunion, reigniting that fire inside me after over four decades of their influence.

Ronny Hamersma's streetpunk outfit Day Drinker is back in the spotlight, stirring up the underground scene with a brand-new demo track that's as unapologetic as its title: "I Only Drink So I Can Tolerate You Cunts." Fresh off the heels of their first full-length album, the band is teasing fans with this raw, high-energy cut.

After a decade-long hiatus, Dutch Oi! veterans Razorblade roar back with The Old Guard, a blistering four-track EP on Rebellion Records that feels like a defiant middle finger to time itself. Dropping physically on November 14th, this gem captures the band's unyielding spirit without chasing trends or softening edges. It's the sound of grizzled survivors raising a pint to the ghosts of gigs past—perfect for anyone who's ever screamed along in a beer soaked venue.

From Avilés, a port town that’s no stranger to noise and grit, comes Tygers of Wrath with their debut album Get Ready. Released on October 10, 2025, through Smith & Miller Records, the record delivers ten tracks of straight-up, high-energy streetpunk. From the first riff, this slab hits like a brick through a boss's window – simple slogans, laser-focused riffs, and no-frills punk that grabs ya by the collar and doesn't let go.

There’s been a real buzz brewing in the American Oi! scene these past few years — from new blood like Shaved for Battle, Klaxon, and Ultra Sect to old guard acts still flying the flag. It’s raw again, unpolished, and rooted back in the streets where it belongs. Out of that same spirit comes Petty Treason, a no-bullshit trio from Salem, Oregon, who’ve just dropped their debut: Hangin’ With Friends, out now on 31 Records.

There’s a different kind of buzz you get when you press play on a record and you know one of the people behind it. It’s more personal. When I heard Stoke-on-Trent’s The Thirteenth Turn were dropping their debut full-length, I was intrigued. But knowing their singer is a fellow Dutchie? That changed everything. ​The band’s chosen name for the album, Bokkenrijder, hit me straight away. For anyone outside the Low Countries, it’s just a cool, aggressive-sounding title. For us, it conjures tales of the "Goat Riders"—18th-century outlaw gangs, rebels, and ghosts who terrorised the countryside of Limburg. It’s a piece of dark folklore, a perfect metaphor for a band that channels raw, rebellious energy. ​​

It’s been over a decade since we last heard anything new from Razorblade, but the Dutch Oi! powerhouse is back — louder, harder, and meaner than ever. A new EP with 4 tracks is going to be released in November and now there is a new video..

With No Time announcing a brand-new 7-inch (Comply or Die, out soon on TKO & Mendeku Records), it felt like the perfect moment to look back at the record that marked their explosive return — Suffer No Fool. Because before you can understand where this Pittsburgh crew are headed, you’ve got to appreciate how hard they came swinging back in the first place.
