Roddy Moreno, frontman of long running Cardiff Oi! act The Oppressed will be embarking on a European tour backed by Montreal's The Prowlers in `05. A live album is expected to result on Germany's Mad Butcher Records. Here's Roddy's announcement:

Me and The Prowlers will be invading Europe for a few weeks in 2005. The Prowlers will be backing me for the Oppressed set and playing a Prowlers set as well.You gotta admire these Canadians playing 2 sets every night.Mike from Mad Butcher will be promoting the tour and we'll be recording a "live in the studio" album for him while we're over in Germany.Due to work and family commitments my lads can't make it but The Prowlers have stepped up to make it happen.This is what Oi! is all about,working class unity.

The dates are expected to be announced soon.
