Oi! from Switzerland. the inventors of Sugar Oi! are the Vanilla Muffins. the sound can be described as melodic pop punk. The title pays tribute to one of the greatest in rock and roll - Chuck Berry and influences by bands such as: The Clash[/], Angelic Upstarts or Red London. He released one of his albums under the title ÒHail Hail Rock n RollÓ. As his music was some sort of rebellion in his time, maybe Sugar Oi! is the rebellion in punk music in the new millenium.
