East Coast American Oi! just got a whole lot meaner. Hailing from the gritty streets of the USA’s Northeast, Justice Served deliver a no-bullshit, fist-to-the-face statement with their new six-track EP Against You.
The record wastes no time establishing its tone: opener “Hate In Me” (previously released as a single) sets the pace with aggressive, zero-compromise vocals and a hard-as-nails rhythmic drive. Tracks like “Parasite,” “Take It Back,” and the short, sharp “Don’t Tread On Me” maintain that same blistering intensity, while “My Pride” stretches out a bit more and “Castle Doctrine” closes things with a strong, stomping finish.
Musically, Justice Served sit comfortably in the current wave of American Oi! alongside bands like U.S. Violence and Shaved For Battle — think straightforward, boot-stomping rhythms, barked and shouted vocals full of attitude, and lyrics that feel lived-in rather than preachy. There’s no attempt to soften the edges or chase crossover appeal; this is pure, honest Oi! for the pit and the pub.
If you’re craving that classic skinhead aggression with modern American production punch and zero filler, Against You delivers exactly what the title promises: a direct challenge wrapped in working-class defiance. It’s short, loud, and uncompromising — the kind of release that reminds you why Oi! still matters.
