Fear City at Cobra Lounge, 1/20/23
Fear City was one of the first true oi! bands to come out of Chicago, and after almost 20 years, is certainly the longest running. While we're currently seeing a resurgence of groups who claim or are influenced by oi!, FC held it down when the subgenre maybe didn't get as much respect or interest. They've released two full-length albums and a few singles. I'm a sucker for any music that mentions working or working class life, which FC does, so they got a bunch of tracks that are in regular rotation for me.
