    there really is a serious shortage of drummers, most drummers i know are in two bands, its really hard to find singer/frontman who dosnt play guitar as well, i have the band pretty much sorted, just need a good frontman, any suggestions???

    I would do it but I'm pretty busy with bands as it is, if it was a proper Oi band I'd be tempted to give it a lash though

    suggest next punk or ska gig announcement maybe by agreement with bands re oi band requiring drummer???at 50 i'm a bit old to get practising again....maybe that worth a try.great to see if there is a band as the oi scene here's had far too little vinyl releases to remember it by.seems to be a phobia in oireland about releasing vinyl,time ta change.

    Ructions demo '08 http://diyirishhardcorepunkarchive.blogspot.de/search/label/Ructions

    Crúibín had a demo/ep out I think, have a feeling they got a CD out too. No idea if it's available anywhere though.

    They did it before Wah left, Conor's mastering it so it'll be a while before they have it ready I'd say

    I know the Drummer from Mongohorn was looking for a band as they split up a while back.

    Ah right. I was wondering what became of them. One of them was wearing a Cork City jersey I believe.
