  Oi! the Boat Records is an independent record label based in Lafayette, Indiana. The label was started as a digital distribution only record label to release Yakimick's former bands' early recordings. It has since evolved into an internationally recognized independent label with a back catalog of vinyl and digital releases from both established and relatively unknown acts from half a dozen countries worldwide.
  
  The label specializes in punk, oi!, ska, and hardcore bands.
  
  ## History
  
  ### Growth
  
  In 2009, the label released its first vinyl output: a split 7-inch vinyl EP with Stamford Bridge (Carl Fritcher from iconic US Oi! band The Templars (band)) and Bastards Choir. In 2009, Max Campbell of Bastards Choir and Hudson Falcons joined Yakimick as co-owner of Oi! the Boat.
  
  In 2010, the label released the popular Swedish Oi! band Perkele's EP entitled "Punk Rock Army" through a collaboration with Germany's Bandworm Records who had previously rereleased Yakimicks former band Brassknuckle Boys LP "Songs About Fighting" on vinyl.
  
  ### Gaining notoriety
  
  In late 2010, Lars Frederiksen of punk band Rancid and Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards contacted Oi! the Boat Records about the possibility of releasing music by his new Oi! band, The Old Firm Casuals. To date, Oi! the Boat has released 3 EPs by the band, including a split double 7-inch vinyl EP with the seminal UK Oi! band The Last Resort
