Oppressed Records was a DIY label. It managed one single. It issued singles in OPPO-0 numerical series. Originally Released In 1983 On The Band'S Own Label Oppressed Records (Opp 01). Double A-Side Of Two Punk Rock Classics. The Oppressed is a Welsh anti-fascist Oi! band that formed in 1981 in Cardiff. Most of the musicians in the band's various lineups were skinheads. Throughout the band's career, the members (especially vocalist Roddy Moreno) openly expressed opposition to racism and fascism — in their lyrics, 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 also had ties to other anti-racist groups, such as Anti-Fascist Action. Moreno is a Cardiff City F.C. supporter, and some of the band's songs express that support. The band has split and re-formed several times. Their more recent split was in 2006, but they re-formed in 2009, and continue performing today. The Oppressed 2013 line up. Roddy Moreno - Vocals / Guitar. Paul Cobley - Bass. Tony Kizmus - Drums. Distributed By Fallout Records.
