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.

Scum Lyrics

Oi Polloi

Dealers selling smack that will ruin your brain
And bring you nothing but misery and pain
Teenage adicts dying - that's hardly very funny
But the dealers are laughing as they pocket the money

BRING THEM DOWN - RUN THEM OUT OF TOWN

They'll screw up your body and they'll screw up your mind
But as long as they're making money they think that's fine
They just don't care as long as they gain
Folk dying of the aids outrage well that's just part of their game

There ain't nothing that they won't do
They want to make a junkie out of you
So when the dealers come your way
You've got to make them pay

Find the scum, bring them down
Run the dealers out of your town

Smack the pushers - Oi! Oi! Oi!
Smack the pushers - Get them boys!
