The Oppressed is a Welsh Oi! band that formed in 1981 in Cardiff, Wales. Most of the musicians in the band's various lineups have been skinheads. Throughout the band's career, the members (especially vocalist Roddy Moreno) openly expressed opposition to racism and fascism[1] — in their lyrics,[2] interviews, on-stage comments and other actions. In 1989, Moreno visited New York City and met a few members of Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP). On his return to the United Kingdom, he started promoting SHARP ideals to British skinheads.[3][4] The band has also had ties to other anti-racist groups, such as Anti-Fascist Action. Moreno is a Cardiff City F.C. supporter, and some of the band's songs express that support.

The Oppressed fue una banda galesa antifascista Oi!, formada en 1981 y disuelta en 2016. La mayoría de los músicos de la banda eran skinheads. A lo largo de la carrera de la banda, los miembros (especialmente el vocalista, Roddy Moreno) abiertamente expresaban su oposición al racismo y al fascismo, en las letras, entrevistas, comentarios en escena y en otras ocasiones. En 1989 Moreno visitó Nueva York y conoció a muchos miembros de la organización Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP). A su retorno al Reino Unido empezó a promover los ideales de SHARP a los skinheads británicos. El grupo tiene también lazos con otros grupos antifascistas, tales como Anti-Fascist Action. Moreno es seguidor del Cardiff City F. C. y algunas de las canciones del grupo expresan esa afición.
