The Oi! Wave Discography

What is "Oi! Wave"? Oi! Wave refers to a mixture of Oi! and New Wave. The catalyst for this genre was bands like Joy Division, The Cure, Southern Death Cult, and Metal Urbain. The first appearance of Oi! Wave was in the recordings of British Oi! bands in the early eighties. Blitz's full length album "Second Empire Justice" is a perfect example of this crossover. This sound, which wasn't quite Oi! and wasn't fully New Wave, went without a name for more than a decade until Flav, of French band Paris Violence, coined the term "Oi! Wave" to classify their style of music. With boots & braces and synths & kohl this is "Romantic Oi!: The Oi! Wave Discography".
