Description
The only book to consider Oi! as a distinct genre within punk rock, What Have We Got? is the story of a musical movement that became a national concern in the eighties and still divides opinion today.
Drawing on new interviews with Sham 69, Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects, Crown Court, Lion's Law, The Templars and many more, Simon Spence considers the genre's inception and noble intentions, how it fell into infamy, and where it lies now.
With a growing and formidable audience in the US, Europe, Asia, South America and the UK, Oi! is as alive as it has ever been, and without the far-right associations that plagued its past.
