Anyone who listened to Oi! music during the last couple of years has heard of that genre within Oi! music called Sugar Oi!. The inventors of Sugar Oi! are the Vanilla Muffins from Switzerland. The sound can be described as very melodic pop punk. The title pays tribute to one of the greatest in Rock«n«Roll - Chuck Berry. 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. Since their debut on Helen of Oi! those 3 lads from Basel gained more and more popularity. With their regular christmas tours with Peter and The Test Tubes they were able to create a strong following in Europe. 2000 saw them on tour in the US for the first time with their friends the Generators. People on the west coast down to Mexico got the first chance to see the band in the US. For 2001 is a tour on the east coast planned. This double album releases on double CD and double LP includes all their favorites plus unreleased and new tracks. The CD version has bonus - live tracks recorded in the US and Germany. Completed with a full color 16 page booklet you can truly call this release the Vanilla Muffins essential. The superb cover artwork by Florian Huelsebusch (The Soul Boy«s guitarist) makes this one an outstanding release for all people involved (the band and the label).
