About The Choice

Formed in 1992, The Choice started playing around LA and caught the attention of Steve from the band The Gain, and partner Tim, from the start up label Brapp Records. The Choice released a 4 song 7inch LP titled "Looking out my Window" in early 94 on Brapp Records. That record found it's way to England where Bob Burridge owner of Helen of Oi! Records came calling. The Choice signed with Helen of Oi in Sept of 94, and went into the studio on a $1000 budget to record The LP "Sunday Soccer". The album was well recieved across Europe where it was mainly distributed. Helen of Oi! then rereleased the fist 7inch Looking out my Window. The Choice would go on and play about 50 shows a year, becoming one of the best known West Coast Oi bands in the 90's. They were asked to play on many compilations in the U.S. and Europe, appeared in various fanzines, spotlighted in the movie: Oi! the movie vol2 as one of the best upcoming U.S. Oi bands.
