American Oi Bands
Got any recommendations on American Oi bands? Most of my friends don't listen to Oi or punk rock in general, so I'm just a loner skin finding shit where I can. I've been listening to the Bruisers, Anti-Heros and Templars for a long while, so those are known to just about anybody. I know of plenty of skinhead ska bands that are good, but it seems like nobody plays Oi any more.
No racist bonehead shit.

So I'm gonna first humor you Concrete Elite - Strike the Rat Down (ATX) Next scroll down look past the 2nd or 3rd page we post a healthy amount of American Oi! here.
Bishops Green They're technically Canadian, but have the American Oi! sound down to a point.
Really I'm from Canada and I thought they were British.
Are we talking bands that are still around or just American Oi in general? Hudson Falcons, Victory, Harrington Saints, The Shame, Fear City, Noi!se (I'd say that counts as more streetpunk, but good none the less)
Check out Emergency (Canadian, but still), Pressure Point, Pist n' Broke, The Authority, Generators, Born to Lose, Whiskey Rebels, Hanover Saints, The Trouble, and The Boils. Some of those are more Oi! inspired than straight up Oi!, but they're all good nonetheless. You also should check out the Skins n' Pins and US of Oi! compilations if you can find them, there's some really great stuff on those. I hope this helps a bit.
Some of my favorites that haven't been mentioned - Those Unknown, Vanguard, Oxblood, Offensive Weapon, The Broadsiders, and Crucial Change. Oh yeah, if we're talking about American oi!, we can't leave out Arresting Officers and New Glory!
I second Arresting Officers and New Glory.
Moonstomp, YDL, Almighty Lumberjacks of Death, Hated and Proud, The Rogues, Niblick Henbane, Patriot, Stars and Stripes, Wretched Ones, Offensive Weapon, Kicker Boys, Battlecry, American Eagle, Beltones, Oxblood, Soldier 76, Headwound, Pist N Broke, Sons of Liberty, The Uprise.
There's a shit load of them:
