Claimed Choice

We're back at the Blue Monk for another exciting date bringing together different variations of Oi, punk hardcore and associated genres.

To headline, none other that Claimed Choice, coming over from Lyon (France) and bringing their own take on Oi music. As far as French Oi is concerned, it is a clear defined genre, that Claimed Choice take on with a younger and more rock n roll approach, on the likes of bands such as Grade 2 or the Chisel - making themselves a core contributor of the new wave of skinhead music.

To represent our local scene - Slow Faction brings traditional '77 punk rock to the stage. A band that needs no introduction due to their many years of activity and involvement in the London scene. Fast, loud, efficient, it's a set you simply cannot miss.

We're following up with 2 more recent and upcoming local talent, starting with Hearing Tests, a DIY hardcore punk band from north London, bringing on some raw antifascist punk to the stage, with a set of classic hardcore punk that'll give your neck something to remember the next day.

Finally to open, recently created Let's Av It brings on Oi music with heavy hardcore breakdown, making a fresh and aggressive take on tradionational Oi. Buckfast, Fred Perry and very politically infused, that's Lets Av It in a nutshell.

What say you London?
