Combat 84

British Oi! punk band

Combat 84 was a British Oi! band formed in 1981 in London. Known for their right-wing political stance and aggressive sound, the group became a prominent act within the Oi! subgenre, which was associated with punk rock but featured more anthemic sounds and lyrics that often dealt with working-class life. The band's career was relatively short-lived, as they faced controversy due to their political views and affiliations, which led to difficulties in securing live venues and resulted in frequent lineup changes. Despite these challenges, Combat 84 managed to leave a mark on the punk scene with their raw energy and confrontational style before disbanding in the mid-1980s. Their music continues to be influential within certain circles of the punk community.
