The Press, formed in New York City in 1984, are pioneers of the American Oi! scene, renowned for their staunch anti-racist stance and early involvement with Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice. Their music, characterized by raw energy and socially conscious lyrics, has left a lasting impact, with tracks like "21 Guitar Salute" covered by bands such as Dropkick Murphys. After a hiatus, The Press reformed in 2016 and have been actively releasing new material since 2017, continuing to inspire with their unwavering commitment to social justice and powerful sound.
