The Oppressed

Throughout the band's career, the members (especially vocalist Roddy Moreno) openly expressed opposition to racism and fascism[1] — in their lyrics,[2] interviews, on-stage comments and other actions.

In 1989, Moreno visited New York City and met a few members of Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP).

On his return to the United Kingdom, he started promoting SHARP ideals to British skinheads.

The band has split and re-formed several times, the first occasion in 1984 after which Moreno focused on his record labels, Oi!

The present day line-up is Roddy Moreno (vocals/guitar), fellow founder member Russell "Ducky" Payne (guitar), Che Jones (drums) and Ross Goldworthy (bass).
