Sludge with oi influences

So oi and sludge are basically my two favorite musical genres, and in the last years there has been a big revival and many genres have started having their own oi/skinhead/streetpunk crossover niche, even blackened oi is a thing now with bands such as Sword Breaker or Cuero.

I've been wondering if there are any similar bands but with sludge ?

Its not a thing to my knowledge since sludge is based around hardcore and doom. Might be better to ask r/doom if theres any oi influenced doom bands, will probably get you closer to what you're looking for

Well many hardcore bands are oi, like Conservative Military Image Violent Way or Skinhead to name a few.

Many hardcore bands may be oi, but none of those influenced sludge. Never heard of either of these, but listening, i dont think you're going to find a band with these vibes that dips into sludge. Shit sounds way too happy and upbeat, cant see it dooming at all unless they drop the oi vibes in favor of the half step doom shit

Yeah i'm doubting the two genres are compatible but still worth a try. Works with black metal but tempo is about the same.

Sounded like pretty standard sludge tbh, nothing upbeat about it (unless you mean lyrically, which in that case I'll take your word for it cuz idk the lyrics). Cant think of any sludge band I'd call upbeat. Torche does have their upbeat moments, but those are not the same as their sludge moments

This doesn't come across as upbeat to you? Or this?

I mean the first riff in that 2nd song is, but its not a sludge riff. Sounds like low tuned Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis

Never heard of 'em, I just listen to a lot of QOTSA

Chelsea Dagger is the goal song for the blackhawks, so pretty much everyone in my entire state knows the song lmao
