Oppressed by the Line started as Of Normandy, a 4-track diversion for guitarist Jon Thompson — a chance for him to break out of his shell and try his hand at vocals. Two songs from those original 4-track sessions survived to make it onto his debut release a mini-album entitled “The Cause of the Colour”. And then there were three… In the winter of 2001 Jon found himself in a band full of turmoil, which was shedding members like so many feathers. Whittled down to a modest three piece (and not a drummer among them), the lads were in need...

Welsh punk band The Oppressed began their infamous career in the early 80s as an outlet for Roddy Moreno, an outspoken advocate for racial unity in the skinhead and Oi! scenes. He formed "Oi! Records", a short-lived but highly influential label that served as the outlet for the Oppressed's music. They performed throughout the 80s, but as time wore on Moreno became far more involved in S.H.A.R.P. (Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice) and eventually disbanded the group. Later The Opressed inspired bands such as: Strawman, Los Fastidios or Stage Bottles. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Oppressed-sharp-attitude/108930239188615 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oppressed https://myspace.com/oitheoppressedoi http://www.discogs.com/artist/269917 .
