Ultra Sect - Rose of Victory

With two stellar EPs and a scorching split 7” with Vis Vires, Ultra Sect quickly cemented themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the Oi! scene. Their latest full-length release, Rose of Victory, continues this momentum, delivering anthemic street punk that feels raw, defiant, and deeply authentic.

The Bay Area band brings a unique blend of influences and storytelling to the table, crafting songs that resonate as battle cries for the modern punk movement.

Ultra Sect’s journey began with a simple goal: to create their own take on Oi! music, inspired by the classics but with a personal twist. They drew from their roots to shape the band’s identity. Their fascination with history also plays a role in their music. 

Ultra Sect’s lineup is steeped in experience, with members previously or still involved in bands like Those Unknown and Suede Razors. However, Ultra Sect’s sound stands apart.

From the outset, Ultra Sect’s music has embraced war imagery and themes of resilience. The title track, Rose of Victory, is a prime example—a powerful anthem that captures the spirit of defiance in the face of adversity.

Ultra Sect’s influences are broad, blending British and French Oi! with select American styles. Unexpectedly, the band also draws from blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and even heavy metal. This eclectic mix creates a sound that’s both classic and fresh.

Songs like Class Hate and Power Through Victory have become crowd favorites. Their lyrics are raw and meaningful, often addressing themes of unity, struggle, and pride. Each song on Rose of Victory carries its own weight, yet the album is undeniably cohesive. Tracks flow seamlessly from one to the next, with no filler in sight. 

Rose of Victory is a bold statement from Ultra Sect—a record that captures the heart of Oi! while carving out its own identity. The band’s ability to combine historical inspiration, raw punk energy, and heartfelt storytelling makes this album a must-listen for fans of the genre.

With their passion for community, polished boots, and vinyl records, Ultra Sect is keeping the spirit of Oi! alive while paving the way for its future.
