To answer you question , Nope. I dont know of a single one. Its only music though , and as long as you arent lead blindly along by the music I dont see how what they are singing about can do you any harm. Kind of like listening to Rammstein when you dont speak german. For all you know they could be calling to clone Hitler and revive the Furher. What diffrence does it make if you dont pay attention to the words? Then again , I tend to like my music with an "ist" attached to it. Some people my find the bands offensive , but at least they are honest.

That scared the life out of me. I had the phone on vibrate and it had fallen behind a chair and it sounded like a farting amplifier

point taken but I don't financially support bands with those ideals...

Words can seep into your spirit. Words are powerful things. They can be self-fulfilling. Lift or destroy self esteem, attitude or outlook, without you being aware.

Your subconscious mind is dictated to by your conscious mind, so if you're blithely mentally repeating words to a song that's stuck in your brain, your subconscious assumes your conscious mind is cool with it all, and incorperates it.

Don't believe me? Look at advertising. Music selling product. It's been proven to work.

Good question mate, yes there are plenty of non-racist non-fascist 'Oi' bands but I couldn't tell you their names (avoid Screwdriver like the plague, they are BNP supporters).

But I have to say that proper skins (ie. smartly dressed crombie/smart boots/braces etc. rather than bomber-jacket and swastika tattooes) are into Jamaican ska and skinhead reggae, not that Oi stuff so Oi does tend to cater for the bonehead skin element.
