Reviews : don't just take our word for it, read what the critics are saying about Oil!... »»» "Oi! parody by a bunch of locals, which is, like most Oi! parodies actually better than the bands they are poking fun at. Rough as fuck Punk/Oi!, owing more to the Workin' Stiffs than to The Templars. Sounds like the Bastard Squad song on the 'Romper Stomper' soundtrack with hilarious lyrics about skinhead pride, boots and being a working man. Knocks the shit out of 90% of the dirge that passes for Oi! these days." (Maximum Rock'n'Roll) »»» "First-rate record that destroys 99.9 percent of what passes for so-called “streetpunk” these days. Oil storms out of the gate ready to rumble on the title track of this EP, with a beefed-up sound and sneer that recalls a tougher Anti-Heros. The bludgeoning continues as Oil launches into “Bills To Pay” - a snotty tune reminiscent of early Randumbs’ material. Rounding out this EP in convincing fashion is “Pullin’ On The Boots”, a rousing, mid-tempo scorcher that is sure to inspire raised fists and shouts of “skinhead” in unison among listeners. “Red, White & Boots” sounds fantastic production-wise, and the recording was mastered nice and loud for an optimal listening experience. While the members of Oil are certainly capable of standing on their own feet sans gimmick, that these guys don’t take themselves too seriously with this project makes this record even more appealing. Of course, the artwork itself is enough to raise a few eyebrows - a prominent American flag, with soccer balls and a pair of boots on the back of the sleeve - but it all starts to come together as you soak up the over-the-top hilarity of the lyrics and examine the names of the involved parties on the insert. So loosen up, silly. You’ve been had! Order your copy today, invite all of your friends over for a listening party, crank the volume, raise your glass, and sing along to one of the year’s best EP's. Bring on the LP from the mysterious men in…boots!" (Now Wave) »»» "Plain and simple, Oil is a Streetpunk Spinal Tap. On its debut EP, the group boisterously parodies the knuckleheaded clichés and hyper-macho nationalistic excesses of modern-day Oi! music. But, musically, these guys aren’t screwing around. The band (which features members of The Bodies, Workin’ Stiffs, Trust Fund Babies and Radio Reelers) backs up its tongue-in-cheek assault upon bootboy boneheadism with a head-kicking musical attack that’s as aggressive and ferocious as anything that the likes of Blitz or the Anti-Heroes ever committed to vinyl. If you get the joke, this record is a hoot. But even if you don’t, you may very well find yourself digging Oil’s in-your-face Streetpunk blitzkrieg. This is hard, nasty punk rock, pal! Once you hear the propulsive title track, you just might have to put down your beer and jump into the mosh pit. (Rutledge) »»» "Fuck, have I changed into some fascist skinhead? Nope, not at all as Oil is one great and hilarious parody on right-wing Oi! bands. This project features a.o. Johnny from The Bodies and Adam from the Radio Reelers in its ranks and boy, do they deliver a fuckin' smasher here!! It's one hell of a straight-forward steamin' Punk Rock attack and tracks like 77 Clockwork Boot Justice, Crucified Hammerskin, Shave For Battle or Clockwork Violence are just plain genious! The music is great and the lyrics are a great laugh, what do you want more?! Take your razors and strap on those boots 'cos the battle calls!!" (High Heels Slut)
