THE OPPRESSED
Skinhead Times - 1982~1998,
2CD
Double CD package jam-packed with all the material
ever written by The Oppressed. Contains pull-out with extensive
liner notes and photos.
March 1981, Russel (DUCKY) Payne,
his brother Ronnie and Gary Tier - all Cardiff Skins - along with
Martin Brennan, a valley Skin, form an Oi! band. After tossing
a few names around, including FORCED OPPRESSION, they decide that
THE OPPRESSED fits the bill. So it was that with not much ability
and a ton of enthusiasm the boys set out to have a ball. With
the departure of Ronnie from THE OPPRESSED, Ducky, Gary and Brennan
eventually turn up on Roddy Moreno's doorstep and make him an
offer he can't refuse. With Roddy as second guitarist and his
brother Dom on bass, this line up lasted about a year. Brennan
and Gary had decided to leave so Roddy took over vocals and found
Lee Jenkins to take care of drumming. This line up lasted about
2 years and recorded nearly everything issued in the eighties.
Almost all their gigs ended in a ruck (boys will be boys) and
eventually they got fed up with the whole thing. They did get
together in the studio with Juan Garcia - a punk from near Cardiff
- on drums, recorded 3 cover versions but played no gigs. So that
was it for the eighties...
