Starting as an Oi! band, they are generally associated more with the anarcho-punk genre. More recently the band have become notable for their contributions to the Scottish Gaelic punk subgenre. Their name is a pun on the English loan of the Greek phrase hoi polloi (Greek: Οἱ πολλοί) which literally means \"the many\", but is extended to mean \"the masses\" or \"the common people\".\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band has gone through about 50 members since their formation, and their only permanent member has been vocalist Deek Allen who has also been involved in Gaelic television and has appeared as Moses on a Gaelic comedy programme. The band has included punks and skinheads. The members have been supporters of Anti-Fascist Action and Earth First!, and they use the motto \"No Compromise in Defence of Our Earth,\" which is an adaptation of Earth First!'s motto. They support direct action in defence of the environment, hunt sabotage, and resistance against racism, sexism, homophobia, fascism and imperialism.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Oi+Polloi","playStationPath":"/stations/120927040/play","stationId":120927040,"bioPath":"/music/Oi+Polloi/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Dead+Kennedys","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c5a/c5a484fc0f8fb39db0b708ad2d22fef7_md.jpg","artistName":"Dead Kennedys","artistId":1488,"station_id":113306482},{"musicPath":"/music/Discipline","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b4d/b4d69b180db53e28c0995e65388117cd_md.jpg","artistName":"Discipline","artistId":3524,"station_id":113585056},{"musicPath":"/music/Anti+Flag","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f41/f41c3f45fd1573ef5a4eae8ce2fc070e_md.jpg","artistName":"Anti-Flag","artistId":10274,"station_id":113266469},{"musicPath":"/music/Noi+se","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/aed/aed71626592eed91911736d2fd257ba3_md.jpg","artistName":"Noi!se","artistId":462601,"station_id":401357747},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Ruts","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ef7/ef7767ecfd67823c4703fd6748fbffcc_md.jpg","artistName":"The Ruts","artistId":111419,"station_id":282283419},{"musicPath":"/music/D+O+A+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5ed/5ed448633a038a2c7945c282dbab05ca_md.jpg","artistName":"D.O.A.","artistId":103048,"station_id":287828404},{"musicPath":"/music/Chron+Gen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b84/b8456b40c2fdbd710916bb4f695f9f09_md.jpg","artistName":"Chron Gen","artistId":132422,"station_id":285484199},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Unseen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b56/b56dfa5a378e8a3102654e9f65cc9194_md.jpg","artistName":"The Unseen","artistId":6101,"station_id":113340055},{"musicPath":"/music/Adolescents","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b3c/b3cc43c4fb70520ec5d06a14a64dedf7_md.jpg","artistName":"Adolescents","artistId":2089,"station_id":113557416},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Damned","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7ef/7efa79eefeaff3d07cd534746380b135_md.jpg","artistName":"The Damned","artistId":2301,"station_id":113291484},{"musicPath":"/music/Reagan+Youth","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5a4/5a4d5abb4ea34b9240f563189328b00c_md.jpg","artistName":"Reagan Youth","artistId":13868,"station_id":113478683},{"musicPath":"/music/Rancid","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ccd/ccda5c171c121623ca03a03a58d2c374_md.jpg","artistName":"Rancid","artistId":2246,"station_id":113308271},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Toy+Dolls","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/477/477142172b52f9a38196d9a71d613cc7_md.jpg","artistName":"The Toy Dolls","artistId":12389,"station_id":113467862},{"musicPath":"/music/Youth+Brigade","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d37/d37bb81f63bb2e6d55674fdd3c5f44ce_md.jpg","artistName":"Youth Brigade","artistId":109514,"station_id":282140612},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Clash","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c4e/c4e3514332934617cbbc694d31b6ea93_md.jpg","artistName":"The Clash","artistId":732,"station_id":113272052},{"musicPath":"/music/Amebix","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9b0/9b0a26cf7bebb418f523268ff54739f6_md.jpg","artistName":"Amebix","artistId":13859,"station_id":120405736},{"musicPath":"/music/Agent+Orange","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/325/32547e8cd99dc89cb8369cb5db4a1f0a_md.jpg","artistName":"Agent Orange","artistId":6111,"station_id":113508912},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Oppressed","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fc8/fc8bb2306b39b6a28916f0585c7823cf_md.jpg","artistName":"The Oppressed","artistId":132496,"station_id":285484249}]}
