Ghoul - Oi Oi Oi (1985)
This final record by the original line-up sees Ghoul shifting style once more. This time, as the title suggests, in an Oi/Street punk direction. While not as potent as Carry Out Fucking or Jerusalem, Oi Oi Oi is a fitting, if a bit off the wall, end to Ghoul's initial life span. Why fitting if it's so different
from their other material? Well, for a band that shifted style on every record it just fits that their final record shows them doing what the fuck they want. True punk attitude if there ever was such a thing!
Obviously this is very English sounding. With the melodic guitar chord progressions, bouncy bass lines, gang chants, simple drumming, super melodic guitar solo, and catchy (well, would be if i knew Japanese) vocals. This is typical Oi/Street punk. However, the Japanese flair makes this stand out as a blinding Oi tune. Also of note is that album art. A punk-skeleton stabbing a Flying V guitar! maybe that's some sort of anti-metal message? or maybe it's just a fucking off the hook idea...
