Music that somehow refreshes my day and it's advisable to switch off a bit and Scottish Oi! with On File from Dundee is perfect. Formed 1997 by Hedgy (vocals/guitars), Craig (bass) and Barry (drums) and one year later they released the Monday Thru Friday 7" and Ejected From The Premises but after three gigs the band split. Greg joined on Bass and Stewart on drums in 1999 before the band started touring extensively across Europe, and in 2000 the Another Day In Paradise EP was released followed by the second album The Real McOi! in 2001. In 2002 Pete joined the band and the Birds Don't Like The Skinheads EP was recorded and released. Shortly after Greg left the band and was replaced on bass by Gordy. The band took a break in 2004 and Rossko replaced Pete on Guitar when they started gigging again in 2005. During 2006 the band re-released both albums on CD with the singles as bonus tracks through Step-1 Music and recorded a new track for inclusion on a new Oi! Compilation which featured an exclusive track from all the best British Oi! Bands. Rossko left the band and was replaced by Paul on Guitar in 2007. The band had trips to Greece, Italy & France. 2008 and Blair replaced Paul on guitar, more trips to Europe beckoned and summer 2009 saw On File in the recording studio working on their long awaited third album. Finished on St. Andrew's Day 2009 Breaking Rules was released on Robbie Burns' Day 2010 and followed by more trips to Sweden, Italy, Belgium Germany and couple of rare appearances in their native Scotland.
