O.Y.F.E = Open your f*****g ears!
OYFE Records is a relatively new label, currently representing Circle of Rage, a hardcore punk band based in Kent in the United Kingdom.
Circle of Rage comprises of Tommo, the front-man, his brother Xander who plays drums, Veitch who plays lead guitar and then another set of brothers, Lee and Scott who play Bass and Rhythm guitar respectively.
Circle of Rage boast a hard-edged sound with politically motivated lyrics and are not to be taken lightly!
Some quotes from a few of their reviews:
“Circle of Rage: A truly exciting, unique act with their own character and their own creative methods.“
- HardRockHaven.net
“Their crunching, politically-charged offerings leave many in the crowd mightily impressed.”

The Band has an EP out called “Lets Talk” which is a 4-track demo featuring the following songs:
- Pork Products [listen]
- What Happened to Hardcore? [listen]
- Born Free, Taxed to death [listen]
- 11th Clause [listen]
All of the tracks can be accessed via their website – http://www.circleofrage.co.uk .
The band are playing many gigs over 2008 in the Kent and London area and are currently re-mastering Let’s Talk with a view to obtaining a full record contract – if you are interested, you better hurry!
