Debuting in 1988 with their album "Patriotic Voice", Arresting Officers were the first American Oi! band to bring balls, and melody to a microphone. Yes, you can say that they were right-wing, and in some cases racist, but there has not been an American Oi! band that hasn't in someway, ripped-off a little bit of Arresting Officers in their sound. Rock-O-Rama released both full length albums, "Patriotic Voice" and later, "Land and Heritage". They were also feature on a compilation that featured Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack, and Young Blood. After Arresting Officers called it quits in 1991, the members went on to form the bands Limecell and Sons of Liberty who would end up releasing a split 7' together, of one Arresting Officers cover each. The band Storm Officers was formed as well, which was members of "Arresting Officers" and Stormwatch. Lineup: Bob:Vocals Steve:Guitar Brian:Drums Patriotic Voice (Rock-O-Rama 1988) 01.
