Romper Stomper (OST) [1992] John Clifford White

John Clifford White's dark soundtrack to Geoffrey Wright's disturbing 1992 film 'Romper Stomper', a graphic tale of violence, racism & love: it features 20 tracks, including: 'Mein Kampf', 'Fuehrer Fuehrer', 'Let's Break Some Fingers/ Brawl Crawl' and 'Fourth Reich Fighting Men'.



The creators of the 'Romper Stomper' soundtrack point to its similarity to the Oi! genre of music. Oi! is a working class street-level subgenre of punk rock that originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s.



The music and associated subculture had the goal of promoting unity between punks, skinheads and other non-aligned working class youths (sometimes called herberts). The Oi! movement was partly a response to a sense that many participants in the early punk rock scene were, in the words of The Business guitarist Steve Kent, "trendy university people using long words, trying to be artistic...and losing touch".



In the words of André Schlesinger, "Oi shares many similarities with folk music, besides its often simple musical structure; quaint in some respects and crude in others, not to mention brutally honest, it usually tells a story based in truth."
