Our Take

The Angelic Upstarts burst onto the punk scene in the late 1970s with their infectious energy and rebellious spirit, and their latest album "Reason Why?" is no exception. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you can practically feel the sweat and spit flying as the band launches into their trademark blend of gritty punk rock.

Singer Mensi's raspy vocals bring a sense of urgency to tracks like "Teenage Warning" and "Never Had Nothing," while the band's tight musicianship keeps the energy levels high throughout. The raw, unpolished production only adds to the album's charm, giving it that authentic DIY punk feel that true fans will appreciate.

Lyrically, the Angelic Upstarts stay true to their working-class roots, addressing themes of social injustice, inner-city life, and the struggles of everyday people. But don't let the serious subject matter fool you – there's plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor and rebellious attitude to be found here.

Overall, "Reason Why?" is a solid addition to the Angelic Upstarts' discography, showcasing the band's ability to stay true to their punk roots while continuing to evolve and push boundaries. So grab your leather jacket, spike up your hair, and crank up the volume – because this album is a riotous, fist-pumping good time from start to finish.

Angelic Upstarts

ANGELIC UPSTARTS: The Godfathers of Punk In the wild and wonderful world of punk rock, few bands have left a mark as deep and lasting as the Angelic Upstarts. Hailing from England's working class heartland, this rebellious quartet burst onto the scene in the late 1970s with a raw, urgent sound and a fearless, confrontational attitude. Led by the charismatic and supremely talented Mensi, the Angelic Upstarts quickly gained a reputation for their incendiary live shows and their unapologetically political lyrics. Songs like "Teenage Warning" and "Anti-Nazi" struck a chord with disaffected youth across Britain, giving voice to the frustrations and anger of a generation caught in the grip of economic decline and social unrest. But don't let their tough exterior fool you - beneath the leather jackets and spiky haircuts, the Angelic Upstarts have always had a softer side. Tracks like "Solidarity" and "England" showcase their talent for writing heartfelt, anthemic ballads that speak to the struggles and triumphs of everyday people. With a career spanning over four decades and a legion of devoted fans around the world, the Angelic Upstarts are truly punk rock royalty. Their fearless, uncompromising spirit continues to inspire new generations of musicians and activists, proving that sometimes, the loudest voices are the ones that need to be heard the most. So crank up the volume, raise a middle finger to the establishment, and let the music of the Angelic Upstarts set your soul on fire.
