Ruairidh - Guth / Oigridh - Beus / Cameron Tongs - Drumaichean / Olssen - Giotàr.
Tha sinn uile an-sàs ann an iomadh pròiseict eile a bharrachd air Oi Polloi. B' àbhaist do dh'Olssen a bhith a' cluich anns na Newtown Grunts agus ann am Firestone agus tha e a-nis a'cluich ann am Moniack. B' àbhaist do Cham a bhith ann am Badgewearer còmhla ri Olssen agus cuideachd anns na Sativa Drummers. Tha e a-nis a' cluich ann an còmhlan Cajun air a bheil Les Miserables (còmhla ri Brian "Red" Tipa bho Divide and Conquer) agus ann an Eastern Bloc. B' àbhaist do Ruairidh a bhith anns na Jockney Rejects còmhla ri Murray Xmas (bhon chòmlan ainmeil Aberfeldy! Saoghal beag nach e?) ach tha e a-nis a' seinn ann an Kansalaistottelemattomuus a tha stèidhichte ann an Helsinki. A bharrachd air siud tha Tongs agus Olssen a' cluich ann an Norman Silver And The Gold agus tha Oigridh a' cluich ann an Vakunoht agus Loinstorm. Nach sinne a tha trang?!
Dhuinne chan eil e uabhasach fhèin cudthromach dè seòrsa coltas a tha air neach ('s e na beachdan nan ceann an rud a tha cunntadh nar beachd-ne) ach ma tha thu airson faicinn co ris a tha sinn coltach dìreach thoir sùil air cuid de na dealbhan beò a chuir sinn suas far a bheil e ag ràdh "view more pics". Nach sinne a tha eireachdail?!
Influences
'S iomadh rud a tha a' toirt buaidh oirnne agus air na h-òrain 's faclan a tha sinn a' sgrìobhadh. Air aon làimh tha na deagh dhaoine ris a bheil sinn a' tachairt nuair a tha sinn air turas a' toirt dochais dhuinn gu bheil e comasach dhuinn saoghal nas fheàrr a dhèanamh do na ginealachan a tha gu bhith tighinn as ar dèidh. Tha sinn an-còmhnaidh ag ionnsachadh bho na daoine a tha sinn a' coinneachadh ris thall thairis agus a' faighinn brosnachadh bhuapa - agus tha sinn gu math taingeil airson seo. An uair sin, nuair a tha e a' tighinn dhan spionnadh 's neart a tha a dhìth oirrn airson deagh oidhche air an àrd-urlar, 's e deagh bhiadh "vegan" an rud a tha gar cuideachadh - mmm, chan eil dad nas fheàrr! A bharrachd air an seo, tha sinn uile a' faighinn brosnachadh 's neart bho rudan mar boidheachd na talmhainn 's cumhachd nan tursachan. Seo na rudan a tha math - ach air an làimh eile tha sinn cuideachd a' faighinn brosnachadh gus strì a dhèanamh an agaidh ana-ceartais bho gach rud olc a tha na trustairean mar Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, Bliar agus Sharon a dhèanamh. Calpachas, goirt, cogadh, gràin-cinnidh 's gràin-creidimh, bochdainn agus fòirneart de gach seòrsa - fhad's a tha iad ann feumaidh sinn ar guthan (agus ar làmhan) a thogail nan aghaidh.
Sounds Like
Somhairle MacGilleathain agus Iain Lom a' tachairt ri Icons of Filth agus na Cockney Rejects aig upraid air na sràidean aig caismeachd an agaidh cruinneachais! No Antisect agus Sham 69 a' tachairt ri Runrig aig blàr Sràid Cable - no dè mu dheidhinn Flux of Pink Indians a' coinneachadh ri na 4Skins aig cuirm-chiùil Donnaidh Rothach??
Sorley MacLean and Iain Lom meets Icons of Filth and the Cockney Rejects at an anti-globalisation riot - or then again Antisect and Sham 69 meets Runrig in Cable Street 1936 - or what about Flux of Pink Indians meets the 4Skins at a Donnie Munro gig??
Basically we'd like to think it's a mixture of the power and crowd choruses of some of the early Oi bands combined with the more intelligent lyrics of anarcho-punk - and, these days, with a good sprinkling of our own indigenous Celtic culture thrown in. On the recently released new LP though you'll hear touches of everything from Crass and Discharge to the Rejects, Killing Joke, Hawkwind and Rimsky-Korsakov - agus a h-uile càil tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig!
Alternatively some might think it's just a load of post-oi and progressive crust songs sung in Gaelic with a bad Cockney accent - you be the judge!

LIKE DECENT PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER WE ARE SICKENED BY THE ACTIONS OF THE ISRAELI MILITARY AND THE CURRENT ISRAELI GOVERNMENT.

WE SALUTE THE COUNTLESS JEWISH PEACE AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS WORKING ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE TO HELP THE PALESTINIANS AND ALSO THE COURAGEOUS MILITARY REFUSENIKS AND "BREAKING THE SILENCE" MEMBERS. PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO WHERE JEWISH AMERICAN PEACE ACTIVIST ANNA BALTZER TALKS ABOUT ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS, PEACE ACTIVISM, JEWISH IDENTITY, ZIONISM AND ANTISEMITISM:-

Comé maltinha, prontos para mais um tema do nosso 1º EP "SEMENTES DA DESORDEM"?
Já podem escutar o revisitado tema "BAR DA GNR", tema nº 2 do EP e que precede às "GUITARRAS DE GUERRA". Este tema já com alguns anitos lavou a cara e foi gravado no inicio de 2009 com novos arranjos, mantendo no entanto todo o carisma que vez dele um dos hinos dos ERVAS DANINHAS. Durante 20 dias, mais ou menos, vão poder entrar no "BAR DA GNR" e buer uma cervejola e morfar uma entremeada e até mesmo apanhar uma carraspana sem ficarem de cana... Dêm gás no volume e acordem os vizinhos... pelo menos aqueles que dormem a sesta ao Domingo à tarde. O "BAR DA GNR" contou com a presença de dois convidados muito especiais, foram eles o Igor e o Arroja dos SHIVERS, que por entre copos de binho e assaltos à sacristia ainda tiveram tempo para uma ida à Sela... ops, desculpem o erro... uma ida à cela.
Um grande abraço para eles e um grande abraço para todos vocês!
