Oi Polloi's first studio recording was a demo entitled Destroi the System, which is believed to have been released in 1984 or 1985. After the now defunct music weekly Sounds gave their previous home-recorded demo a favourable review, demand increased for gigs further afield. A second studio demo, Green Anarchoi followed before the release of the first vinyl offering, Resist the Atomic Menace. The line-up of the group has starred an impressive fifty members since their formation, making up the countless incarnations of the band. The band is currently based in Scotland.

Mindrot Lyrics

Oi Polloi

Glued to the screen you sit and vegetate
A model citizen in a police state
Pumped so full of rubbish that you don't see
You'r getting a cathode ray lobotomy

Bread and circuses, Government lies
Turn off the TV before your eyes
Bread and circuses, Government lies
Trash the TV before your brain dies

Your work is a prison, you'll live in a box
Kept isolated so their boat never rocks
Neighbours down the street who you never greet
Just stay inside, watch the box and keep off the street

Brainwashing and distraction to keep us all apart
If we're going to beat them then we've got to make a stand
To unite and combine the strength that we've all got
Just say no to their TV mindrot
