A.O.A. / Oi Polloi

***Nearly 40 years ago A.O.A. and OI POLLOI joined forces to condemn what they saw as an Unlimited Genocide. Fast forward to 2025 and nothing has changed for the better, with everybody witnessing a genocide unfolding in front of our eyes daily, while humanity hits rocks bottom. So Sealed Record decided it was ripe time to bring back this classic slice of Scottish punks and skins protest music.

Originally released on the ever impressive Children of the Revolution Records Unlimited Genocide features the hardest side of the Oi Polloi vast catalogue. Full of rage and anger, tensely tuneful with earnest anarcho conviction. With A.O.A. On the flip side delivering seven tracks of full in your face hardcore punk, carrying the torch of the Discharge influenced thrash of the era.

The record has a strong 80’s production value and touches on green and environmental issues, apartheid, nuclear power, religion, vegetarianism and much more. It’s raw, direct and a great snapshot of an era that is often mimicked but never bettered.

This reissue has been remastered and includes a printed inner sleeve as well as a slightly altered artwork.
