Chris Heath (musician)Condemned 84 is a British skinhead Oi! punk band. According to their website, the band was formed in 1980 as Criminal Tendencies, changing in 1983 to Condemned, and in 1984 to Condemned 84.[1] Later, as the Oi! scene divided along political lines, Condemned 84 joined bands like Skrewdriver in turning to a more heavy-metal based sound.[2]
Among the band's gigs was the concert which devolved into the 1986 Isle of Wight riot; the performances by several Oi! bands, including also The Business and The Vicious Rumours, drew a number of skinheads, and following the performances attendees attacked vendors, caterers, and security.[3]
