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.

Punx Picnic In Prince's Street Gardens Lyrics

Oi Polloi

If you go down in the gardens today you're in for a big surprise
If you go down in the gardens today you won't believe your eyes
'Cos every punk 'n' skin that ever there was
Is there today because because
Today's the day the punx 'n' skins have their picnic!

PICNIC TIME FOR PUNX 'N' SKINS
THE PUNX 'N' SKINS ARE OUT TO HAVE SOME FUN
PICNIC TIME FOR PUNX 'N' SKINS
HAVING A LAUGH IN THE SUN

Oi!

Merrydown and salad rolls in hand
We come from all across the land
Skins and punx out to have some fun
Having a laugh in the midday sun

PUNX PICNIC! PUNX PICNIC! PUNX PICNIC! OI! OI! OI!
PUNX PICNIC! - IN PRINCES STREET GARDENS

Park attendants quake with fear
'Cos the skins and punx are here
They all know not to mess
So come and join the fun with all the rest

Having a drink and having a laugh
Trading zines and tapes - and acting daft
Making new friends and palying the fool
So come to the punx picnic if you know whats good for you!
