Originally released in 1984, “Send in the Marines!” conquered the streets with its uncompromising anthems for the working class. This album is not a record for suckers, not music for blue-haired fringe wearers who leave the room triggered by every harsh note. Combat 84 expressed what they thought - without filters, without PR advisors, without fear of controversy, and if it went badly, they got punched in the mouth. The London band became a legend! And the album title is more relevant than ever when you consider the current riots by multicriminal gangs in Los Angeles and other major cities in the USA.

One of the cornerstones of the first Oi! wave, the band shaped the scene with their own distinctive sound: raw, direct riffs, captivating rhythms and lyrics that reflect the life of the working class. Every song is a declaration of war against hypocrisy, pseudo-rebellion and sham morals. Tracks like “Rapist”, ‘Poseur' or “Trouble” slam hard, direct and uncompromising into your ears. No pretentious attitude, no overproduced soup trulli weight - just brutal, honest Oi! with the necessary portion of street credibility - served and performed by Chris “Chubby” Henderson on vocals (RIP, 2013).

Now this classic has finally arrived fresh from the Rock-O-Rama Records vinyl forge - and of course officially re-released on the original label! No zeitgeist is served here - history is inhaled! For real collectors, veterans of the scene and young bald guys who want to know when and where Thor swung the hammer. For all those who celebrate bands like The 4-Skins, The Last Resort or Condemned 84 - and who know that Oi! is not a fashion or a hobby, but an elixir of survival against the clown world.
