Hail from Southern California, and have recently debuted with an EP on Facedown Records, called Yesterday, Today & Forever. They play a mean, tight combination of punk, Oi!, and rock -- far from the poppish paradigm. With influences like the Anti-Heros, Dropkick Murphys, and the 4 Skins, The Deal come correct, and bring to mind the energy, tempo, and class of Greyarea, with the gruffness of Ballydowse. Great gang-vox.

Decapolis 2001Reviewed by Nate BaileyThe word is Oi, and The Deal rocks it from California with plenty of gusto and enthusiasm. I got a chance to see The Deal on tour with Headnoise and various others last summer. They have since been touring the country building up a name for themselves all over the US. They already have quite a following and are working on creating an even larger fan base. This release is 8 songs full of gang…Similar sounding releases
