V.A. Indonesian Skinheads Vol. 1 LP

"Indonesian Skinheads Vol. 1." This compilation is the first dedicated to the Indonesian scene, on vinyl. Ten bands of different styles share the two sides:

- The opening track is FISHKA, a band blending skinhead reggae, funky reggae, and ska. You may have discovered them through their 7" single released by Liquidator Music a few months ago. The chosen track is "Operation Reggae."

- The second band is MOONSTOMP, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. They sent us the track "Ride Your Life," featuring Sylvain from THE PROWLERS.

- The third band is ANTI-SQUAD, another veteran band of the Indonesian oi! scene. The track is "Indonesia Ku,“ already featured on their album ”Indonesian Proud," but re-recorded for the compilation, with more energy and, above all, a much better sound.

- The fourth band is REDBLOOD, an oi! band with female vocals. They'll be playing at the Rebellion festival next August, if you're in the area...

- The fifth band is already familiar to you, as it's HxC STREGHT THRU, already featured on the compilation "Punks in Asia Vol. 2.“ Their track ”One Family" closes side A.

- The sixth band is SKALIE, a band blending ska jazz, ska revival, and reggae. The track they wanted to include on the compilation is "Poster Café," a rather danceable track.

- The seventh band to appear on the compilation is THE LADS 69. This promising young group already appeared in 2024 on the compilation "Punks in Asia Vol. 2“ with the track ”Skinhead Dimana Mana" (“Skinheads Are Everywhere”). This time, they pay homage to their city with the track "West City Flowers." Another oi! hit with lots of hearts.

- The eighth band is probably familiar to you if you've been following the label's adventures. Already featured on the split 7" with Contingent Anonyme, they are RENTENIR FC, a pillar of the Indonesian oi! scene. The track is called "28 Years."

- In 2016, we introduced you to THE BOLDNESS on the split CD "Oi! It's a World Invasion Vol. 3" with ULTIMA CLASSE. The band repeated their mischief in 2022 with a superb vinyl album (Sunny Bastards – Laketown Records – Liberty or Death Records). The band honors us with the title track "Let's Go Skin and Punk" on this compilation.

- HITCOCK, another veteran of the oi! scene, closes the album with the track "Pride, Fight and Glory."
