Oi! Oi!
Oi! It's 100% Official!
Legendary Oi! Band
"Indecent Exposure"Are
Back!!!!!
Indecent
Exposure were formed in late 1981, With Britain in a deep dire recession, 3
million on the dole and then Southall, Brixton & Toxteth along with many other
towns & cities kicking off, it was now time for IndEx to make their mark through
their own brand of Oi! Music!!!
After the Riots of 81, Oi!
Music was deemed dead by almost everyone, to the press, the music industry and
all record companies, Oi! Was now a dirty word and only the hard core lovers of
this type of music, the kids on the streets were willing to still come and
support the bands, the hardest years were to follow as most promoters and venues
refused to book Oi! Bands for fear of trouble & police harassment which always
seemed to follow Oi music down in the London & South East area and this went on
for some years after.
The Falklands
War happened in 1982 and Steve tried to join the Para’s to go fight for his
country but was turned down because of his street fighting criminal record,
enough was enough and Steve born and bred on the mean violent streets of Bethnal
Green, East London where Oi! Music had first began wanted his voice heard and
set out to make it happen meeting up with what would turn out to be the other
members of the band through gigs and spending their Sundays hanging out at the
Last Resort Skinhead shop in Petticoat Lane, East London.
"The
Last Surviving Original 80's Oi! Band!!"
With IndEx's
unique hard in your face brand of Oi!, these young patriotic street scrapping
kids sang about their own life experiences and the crap that was going around
them, The site of watching their once great country slip violently down the
toilet under the Tory government of Margaret Thatcher was gut wrenching.
The 1st line up
consisted of Steve-Vocals, Big Tom-Guitar, Colin Wright-Bass & Sedge on Drums,
this was to be short lived as before they had even played a single gig Colin
Wright moved away leaving IndEx with a lot of hard work and almost a year
wasted, In came Punky Bacon and so this ended up being the one and only line up
to make it to the music stage with the exception of Paul Swain of The 4 Skins
guesting in a few gig appearances and also guesting with them in the recording
studio.
In 1982 their
first single was released and what turned out to be a hard hitting Oi! Anthem
reflecting what had happened the year before in 81, The double A side single
featured “Riots" & "A Matter of Time” re-releasing it again at the end of 1983.
Their first
long awaited album “Reveal All” wasn’t released until 1984, this was Classic Oi!
Music at it’s rawest with tracks like “A Way of Life” & “Bank Holiday” to harder
hitting songs like “I won’t Let My Country Die” & “Save the Nation”.
IndEx’s second
Album “No Looking Back” was released in 1985, this album had an even stronger
Oi! feel to it with tracks like “Authority” “Stick Together” & the heavy hitting
track “Mad Dog”.
By 1985 / 86
the Oi! Scene had sunk probably to its lowest, extremists from the left & the
right were infiltrating the Oi! scene, IndEx’s Singer Steve had gotten into a
big argument just before doing a gig in Tufnell Park, North London after telling
some political skins to f*ck off out of it, All IndEx wanted to do was play Oi!
Music, later on that night he was to pay for standing up to these mugs as one of
the spineless f*cks threw a bottle whilst IndEx were playing their set splitting
Steve’s head wide open, IndEx in true hardcore Oi! fashion continued to finish
their set then jumped into the large crowd to find the scumbag culprits, but in
true low life fashion these cockroaches had crawled back under the stone from
which they had came from, later that night Steve went to hospital where he got
12 stitches put in his head, it was to be the last gig IndEx ever played in
London.
After this
incident, IndEx along with other top bands vowed to help organise gigs so as all
political toe rags or groups left or right would never get a foothold on their
Oi! Music again.
"This
Is The Oi! Band They Don't Want You To Hear!!"
IndEx have
played all over Britain, USA and were the very first UK Oi! band to set foot on
European soil playing with varied and diverse types of Punk, Oi! & Ska bands
such as : The 4 Skins, The Business, The Bohse Onkelz, Bad Manners, Oxblood, UK
Subs, Condemned 84, Desmond Decker, Vicious Rumors, King Kurt to name but a few.
IndEx
finally disbanded back in 1987 after becoming totally disillusioned with the
whole Punk/Oi! Scene................Until Now
That Is!!
Indecent
Exposure are now back and put claim to being the only original early 80's Oi!
band that's playing with their one & only original band line up, IndEx are a
hard hitting but melodic Oi! band giving fans a no mess, no fuss but truly pure
impacting experience, If you haven’t seen them play live then make sure you get
along to one of their gigs and experience what it was like when that classic old
Oi! Sound was alive and kicking the shit out of anything that got in its way!!
The
Full & Complete Early 1980's Line Up!
This is a
legendary Oi! band reunion after almost 25 years and they're doing it for the
Punk & Oi! fans of the world that still love that old school Oi! sound,
it has nothing to do with anything else, any mugs out there that think otherwise
can F*cking Jog On!!
Oi! Oi!
Oi! & Best Regards Milky & The Firm
