Self Destruct - various songs
Self Destruct
Maine/Boston? - '97?-'07?
A "supergroup" that was half A Global Threat and half of the Unseen. All of these bands have had some incest along the way with singers and memebrs, so that might clear up why you may have thought one soundned like the other at certain times. I don't know that much about them and i hope to throw up their only official recording (that i know of) their '01 "Violent Affair" ep. One could assume the took their name from the GBH song Self Destruct, since they cover GBH and i'd bet my last bag of studs that the band Violent Affair got their name from self destruct's EP. So all in all GBH and uk82 are the fuckin boss, so don't forget it.
Also... according to a guy on youtube with a cat wearing a santa hat for an icon sez: "Mark Unseen was just the second singer. Bryan Lothian was the main singer from 1997 to 2007 when they broke up."
here's some random youtube songs from their EP. i might polish this up later and have the EP plus any rare recordings i can find if youtube doesn't take it down.
"Self Destruction"
"Vicious Cycle"
"Living Hell"

Street Fleet - song "Won't Back Down"
Street Fleet
southside Chicago - 9x-9x?
Here's an old flyer with notorious Madison WI oi! band (still playing and recording) Brass Tacks, and old Milwaukee streetpunk band Drunk Tank. Quarters is still the best dive in Milwaukee to see a real punk show at, if you can ever fit one in between all the hipster, crust/grind/pv and garage bands.

Melbourne, Australia - '99?-'02?
I read that their 7" "Punktribe" was recorded in '99. It was copyrighted in '00 and released in '02. It can still be purchased here at Interpunk, the great online warehouse of forgotten early '00s bands.

Drunk Upstarts - "Oi! Drunx, Spiky Punx" demo
Drunk Upstarts (Upstarts RF)
Grand Rapids MI - '99-'05
The Drunk Upstarts, later Upstarts RF (upstarts reformed, if i remember right...), from Grand Rapids Michigan, had strong ties with the city of Milwaukee (where i live). Their first(?) singer Jeremy has sadly passed away, but their memory is carried on by his friends, and especially by Jeremy's younger brother Gordy. Gordy fronts the current Denver pogopunk band the Bad Engrish, they cover and have recorded Drunk Upstarts songs as tribute. I will write more about this band when i have the time and can write something more informed, as i don't think i even got to see them ( i used to live in Green Bay WI til about '03/'04), and only met Jeremy 2, maybe 3 times. Either way, RIP Jeremy.
"Oi! Drunx, Spiky Punx" demo '01?
songs:
1. Oi! Drunx, Spiky Punx
2. Andy Cunt
3. Drinking with the Mates
4. Jail Song
5. Street Night
6. Bollox
7. Wastin' Time
8. Wannabe Skinhead
9. Remember When...
Here's Bad Engrish (featuring Jeremy from the Upstarts' younger brother Gordy, on vocals) paying homage to D.U. by covering "Fuck the New Breed", which i think was from the Drunk Upstarts "Gutterside Pisses" demo. If I can remember through all the boozy fog, Bad Engrish cover a few different Upstarts songs in rotation when they play live.

NYC - '97?-??
I used to have this 7", it was one of those things where the cover is a little misleading. Kinda like those wannabe 86 Mentality hardcore bands today that use skinhead imagery and have no oi influence or skins in the band. Also, what the fuck does the name mean? I am on the internet and i refuse to look it up. Whatever, here it is:

UFC - incomplete Demo/collection
UFC
South Florida/NYC - '99-0x?
UFC aka "United For Change" (supposedly) - don't know much about this band really, so i will steal this off of my friend's old blog - http://skunxcomeback.blogspot.com/. His newer blog is much better, but almost omitted streetpunk entirely (in the spiky hair sense, it's full of 80s european oi and uk82 - primo shit - http://inforthe80s.blogspot.com/).
"... bands from Florida. I gotta tell you, U.F.C. had to be my favorite band when I use to live in Florida. The band came out around '99 and their members were from Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. They were one of the first bands to get punks and skins together, and everytime they played, they played one of the most chaotic shows in South Florida. These street punk kids got signed to Charged Records in 2000 and released their first self-title EP. The band later regrouped in New York where they had a change of members. The band is still active today, and they have released a full length album; 'All That I Despise', and a demo titled 'Quiero Mas Cerveza'. Well, thats all I can tell you about the band. I hope you like it. I had a hard time trying to record the EP onto my computer. Enjoy!"
I am having a problem getting the whole album onto youtube. I will re-upload this once i get it straight.
I don't even know the real name of the fucking full length/"collection". I wanna argue with the other blog quoted above and say that "All That I Despise" was a 7" or cd. Since i've never physically owner anything by this band, who gives a shit, just listen to whats on youtube:

This might be these dirty ass dutch squatters only good song (depending on who you ask). This is one stolen record i don't really miss being "caught" with. This song will still pop into my head sometimes outta nowhere, so all my hate-jokes aside, give it a listen.

New Zealand - '97?-'98?
A New Zealand band with a skinhead streetpunk sound. This 7" sounds different than their later full length "You Wot!" and these songs were re-recorded for the album. Although every part of me wants to think these guys are English, i'm pretty fuckin sure they're from NZ.

Punkcore - Oi! the Curveball
hey dummies, here's a little history lesson for ya. before punkcore records ever signed 3rd generation cookie cutter spiky bands, christian shit and "irish-punk" - and even slightly before your heroes rose up, then, died in a pile of hairdye right in front of you - it had a little taste for the oi oi music. here's some samples of the "other" side of punkcore records from the early days.

Street Brats
Chicago (northside) IL - '00?-0x?
This is this Chicago melodic punk band's first e.p. on Charged records. After this and their first full length they took a much softer and even more melodic route, and that's where i personally stop listening. They were super popular (not with everybody...) in the Chicago, Milwaukee (WI) and surrounding areas in the early '00s. Not everyone liked them, not only because of their own take on punk, but their direct involvement & affiliation with chicago punk and skinhead gangs rivalries, especifically having members that were part of controversial Chi-Town 77 Street Punks. And if you lived in the area then you know that everyone has a fuckin opinion on the shit.

A forgotten band with atypical songwriting (compared to casualties & AGT clones). They also had a 7" (you can find some of the songs here) and a cleaner version of "Ode to Joy" on 1998 Punx Unite compilation lp. For some reason the tape is also labelled "I Hate the Redundants", which is the name of their 7" that has totally different songs. Probably some stupid slogan they had on their shirts or buttons too.

Bomb Squadron - various songs and live videos
Bomb Squadron
Reading PA - '94-'98
Bomb Squadron was the band Pepsi Generation in a previous incarnation, and later turned into the Virus.
"From the liner notes: In 1994, five of the quirkiest people ever to form a band played their first show. It was a basement show in a small town 20 minutes north of the band's home in Reading PA, a poor city that died with the 70's. Over the next four years Bomb Squadron played some of the most entertaining, violent and sometimes sloppiest shows I have ever seen. The first seven inch, <i>"Another Generation Lost"</i>, came out in 1995 to good reviews. The band started playing bigger cities and better shows. The line up at the time was Ian-vocals, Andy-guitar, Chris-guitar, Ben-bass, Jarrod-drums. I seem to remember them fighting a lot, but the shows were always lots of fun. In my opinion Ian was a great frontman and I had never seen a lead singer smoke cigarettes through an entire set until I saw him on stage. He came off like he didn't care about anything (still true), and that is a good thing for the right band, and Bomb Squadron was that band... After a year or so of playing shows the band ran into problems. Ian's apathy started to clash with Andy's dedication to the band. It came to a head when Ian ditched their first show in Baltimore. A large argument ensued. Andy ended up needing to be restrained from violence, and went on to tell Ian "I know where you live motherfucker". Even though the seven inch was doing great and show offers were rolling in, the band fired Ian and started to look for a new singer. This brings us to the Fat Dave. He was from Harrisburg PA, a town with as much going on as Reading (nothing). Dave had played in a few bands that Bomb Squadron had played with, and he impressed the band with his antics and presence on stage. After trying out a couple of other singers, the band went with Dave and began playing shows. This is when the band's shows started to resemble bar fights. Mix together Dave's habit of drunken self abuse and the band's popularity with the aggro skinhead set, a lot of the shows started to get out of hand. Three fights and a floor covered in broken forty bottles was a common occurence. When Bomb Squadron was on (slightly drunk) they were great, when they were off (really drunk) they were bad. There were shows where the band did not complete any song they played. One show I remember, Dave and Jarrod decided to drink all day and play an over 21 show that night. They could hardly walk by the time they played. Swinging a mic stand like a baseball bat, Dave destroyed a thousand dollar disco ball and a couple of monitors, Jarrod stopped a song half way through to go to the bathroom, and during the last song Ben stopped playing after the first chorus, put his bass in its case and walked off rolling his eyes. The police were called, Dave fled the scene, and actually beat the charges in court when the main witness against him showed up drunk. That in a nutshell was Bomb Squadron. The band did a summer tour, put out two more seven inches, a bunch of comp tracks and in 1998 they broke up. This collection is their entire studio history. There were a lot of rumours about this band, none worth mentioning. The only thing Bomb Squadron wanted to do was play streetpunk, the way it should be, raw and fun."

A large argument ensued. Andy ended up needing to be restrained from violence, and went on to tell Ian "I know where you live motherfucker". Even though the seven inch was doing great and show offers were rolling in, the band fired Ian and started to look for a new singer. This brings us to the Fat Dave. He was from Harrisburg PA, a town with as much going on as Reading (nothing). Dave had played in a few bands that Bomb Squadron had played with, and he impressed the band with his antics and presence on stage. After trying out a couple of other singers, the band went with Dave and began playing shows. This is when the band's shows started to resemble bar fights. Mix together Dave's habit of drunken self abuse and the band's popularity with the aggro skinhead set, a lot of the shows started to get out of hand. Three fights and a floor covered in broken forty bottles was a common occurence. When Bomb Squadron was on (slightly drunk) they were great, when they were off (really drunk) they were bad. There were shows where the band did not complete any song they played. One show I remember, Dave and Jarrod decided to drink all day and play an over 21 show that night. They could hardly walk by the time they played. Swinging a mic stand like a baseball bat, Dave destroyed a thousand dollar disco ball and a couple of monitors, Jarrod stopped a song half way through to go to the bathroom, and during the last song Ben stopped playing after the first chorus, put his bass in its case and walked off rolling his eyes. The police were called, Dave fled the scene, and actually beat the charges in court when the main witness against him showed up drunk. That in a nutshell was Bomb Squadron. The band did a summer tour, put out two more seven inches, a bunch of comp tracks and in 1998 they broke up. This collection is their entire studio history. There were a lot of rumours about this band, none worth mentioning. The only thing Bomb Squadron wanted to do was play streetpunk, the way it should be, raw and fun."

The Last American - movie
the Last American was a kinda shitty 2003 indie film about a punk (set in the 80's) trying to sell a couch. It was done over in the twin cities (minneappolis/st. paul). In the trailers it's always advertised as a having a Casualties performance, but if i remember right the actual film shows brief performances by late 90's/early'00s bands Onward to Mayhem & the Subversives.
" "He Sold His Couch for Rock N' Roll..." Shot on black and white 16mm film with a budget of less than $7,000, THE LAST AMERICAN, was made in true go-for-broke spirit. It was filmed in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a cast of local actors generously donating their time and talent. The three man production crew of Audie Harrison, A.J. Pfeifer, and Peter Browngardt personally financed the movie with credit cards along with a film stock grant awarded by Kodak and whatever loose change they could find lying around. Inspired by the Minneapolis punk scene, the movie's soundtrack boasts several local bands, including ONWARD TO MAYHEM and THE SUBVERSIVES. The result is a offbeat screwball comedy that makes its mark with bold punk rock style! Watch the entire movie in 8 parts! Buy the DVD at www.indieflix.com"

Subversives - "Protest & Dance" lp
the Subversives
Minneapolis/St. Paul MN - '95?-'02/'03?
The Subversives are sort of a cult band and the USAs answer to Oxymoron (proper english accent and all), and one of my personal favorites. Being a proper skunk band, they had qualities of uk82 bands, 80's uk oi and not so much u.s. streetpunk, with their own musical take on it - the influences which are shown on the artwork of all their records. That's why i personally liked them so much (i actually listen to almost 100% 80s oi and uk82 and european punk in my spare time, this blog is just for shits, and it needed to be done- granted it should be done by someone who cares more and is more thorough - but what the fuck, why not). Their oi side is why they had releases on Vulture Rock and Step 1 records, but eventually ended on Charged then disbanded. They have an unreleased full length album recorded and some people have it on burned cd. Some later members went on to form oi-style streetpunk band the Eightysixed, who have more recently become the popular oi oi band, Victory.

formerly known as the Pints, some of their members played my punkhouse in the band Class 6 (named after a nearby military bases cheap liquor store). I think they're from Nashville.
