If you'd told me in the late 90s or early 2000s I'd be hearing and listening to some of the best punk and oi records I've ever heard in 2025 and 2026, I wouldn't have believed you.

@NMYCMBTNT so, without all my blathering, that's
Béton Armé - Renaissance
https://betonarmeoimtl.bandcamp.com/album/renaissance-2Restraining Order - Future Fortune
https://restrainingorderhc.bandcamp.com/album/future-fortuneTaker - Sons and Daughters
https://taker-oi.bandcamp.com/album/sons-and-daughters@jake4480 The Béton Armé is really good, and "Restraining Order" I even had on my (ever growing) BC wishlist already
Also, the new NEGATIVE BLAST album last November was an absolute must-have for me (although I must say I haven't gotten *quite* as into it as with their previous masterpiece Echo Plant yet.)

@Tim_Eagon oh man. That's one of the ones I was talking about. One of my favorite 20 last year. I just listened to it again. I speak no French either.
Did you hear the Restraining Order record from last year? I have this on AGAIN now. It's fucking unreal. 
Future Fortune, by Restraining Order
Future Fortune by Restraining Order, released 12 September 2025 1. Know Not 2. Shame Game 3. Insomnia 4. Free Ride 5. Adapt 6. Checkmate 7. Used Love 8. Future Fortune 9. The Suffer 10. Bashful Blue 11. Time To Go 12. Journeyman 13. Were You There
Restraining Order (restrainingorderhc.bandcamp.com)
Did we talk about this one? Missed it somehow last year. Would've been on that list of 20. It became my favorite punk record this year. Just barely beat out Platinum Rats by the Briefs from 2019. And that just barely beat London Calling years ago. And the third- did you hear the new Taker I mentioned the other day? Oi + Ramones?
What is going ON (well, we know) hahaTaker:
https://taker-oi.bandcamp.com/album/sons-and-daughters@jake4480 I listed to the Restraining Order album on Bandcamp and liked it quite a bit. I didn't see your recommendation about Taker, but heard about them yesterday from another music site and have it in my queue to listen to.
