- Synopsis:
Formed in Cardiff in 1981 by singer guitarist Roddy Moreno, The Oppressed were soon at the forefront of the burgeoning Oi! phenomenon. Over the next four years they played extensively, recorded an EP 'Never Say Die' and a single 'Victims/Work Together'. However gig violence was to eventually take its toll and the band reluctantly split in 1984. 10 years later, appalled by the lack of attitude and the general ignorance on the street rock scene, Moreno reformed the band and went on to record 3 singles and 2 albums. Taking their names from a clothes store in London's East End,The Last Resort, hailed from Herne Bay. Formed by Roi Pearce in 1980 they were enthusiastically adopted by the Oi! movement. In early 1981 singer, Graham Saxby left the band for personal reasons and Roi took over on vocals. In the meantime Roi had copyrighted the bands name, therefore any line-up that came along not including Roi were called The Warriors. The Last Resort continued to play in various forms until 1984 when they split as a resort of being targeted by the racist witch-hunt of that era. - Actors:
