The best Skinhead anthems according to us

The essential Skinhead anthems

Skinhead culture has always had a sound. Whether it’s the stomp of early reggae, the grit of Oi!, or the raw power of punk, music’s been at the core from day one. These aren’t just songs — they’re anthems. Tracks that stuck, spread, and shouted something real. No nostalgia trip, no fashion parade — just five essential Skinhead tunes that still hit like a boot to the gut.

1 – Symarip – Skinhead Moonstomp

The godfather of all skinhead tunes. Trojan ska with that stomping beat — this is the blueprint. Released in 1970 and still fills floors. If you’ve never skanked to this, sort it out.

2 – The Last Resort – Violence in Our Minds

Raw, defiant, and working-class to the core. This track doesn’t hold back – pure Oi! frustration turned into a battle cry. Every shout feels earned.

3 – Sham 69 – If The Kids Are United

Unity anthem through and through. Not born in the scene, but fully embraced by it. Big sing-alongs, clenched fists, and a chorus made for the terraces.

4 – 4Skins – One Law For Them

5 – The Oppressed – Ultra Violence

Anti-fascist, anti-bullshit, and proud of it. Cardiff’s own standing tall with a sound that’s as punchy as the message. True to the roots, loud in the fight.
