TEMPLERS (The),: Omne Datum Optimum Vinyl LP

The Templars are one of hardcore punk's best-kept secrets, a band whose Oi-inflected New York street punk has been quietly essential since the early nineties while everyone else chased the next trend. Omne Datum Optimum sits deep in their catalogue, and it rewards the kind of listener who already knows why that matters.

This is the sort of record that ends up on turntables in the back rooms of record shops and never quite leaves. The Templars occupy a specific pocket of American punk where working-class conviction, skinhead culture, and raw melodic instinct meet without apology. If you've ever dug into the Blood and Fire catalog or argued about which Blitz record is definitive, this is already on your list. Pressed on vinyl, the way it was always meant to be heard.
