Our Take

If Pitchfork did review punk rock albums:

The Angelic Upstarts' anthology "The Albums 1979-82" crashes into your speakers like a drunken footie hooligan at a peaceful protest. A rowdy collection of tracks that will have you pogo-ing around your living room faster than you can say "Oi! Oi! Oi!"

Tracks like "Teenage Warning" and "Police Oppression" hit you like a boot to the gut, with their raw energy and politically charged lyrics. Frontman Mensi's snarling vocals cut through the chaos like a chainsaw through butter, giving the Upstarts their signature sound.

But don't be fooled by their tough exterior - there's a lot of heart in these songs too. "Last Night Another Soldier" and "Never Had Nothing" showcase the band's introspective side, with poignant lyrics that hit you right in the feels.

Overall, "The Albums 1979-82" is a riotous romp through the early days of British punk. It's a must-listen for any fan of the genre, and a crash course in the history of one of punk rock's most influential bands. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let the Angelic Upstarts transport you back to the glory days of punk rock. Oi! Oi! Oi!

About the artist

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.
