Whatever you people say here...Angelic Upstart is one of the best Oi bands around the world, they had an unique style and Mensi's voice is like...2 million voices together, he's great. Betwise, they had a lot of Clash influence, believe it or not!. *Angelic Upstarts and Cock Sparrer, my favs.
I love the fact that they chose to look this way in the middle of mohawk-mania leather 'n studs postcard punk times. Mullets and Hawaiian shirts. Punk as fuck for '81
I dont think Decca Wade was around for "Still From The Heart" but I'm sure thats him on drums in this clip. Must be between the 2 albums (1981 sometime). Also, interesting to see Mensi getting fatter from their TOTP appearance a cpl of years b4. LOL. Long Live The Upstarts
Great band with plenty good to say...shame about the mackem top in the video, though...don't have to suffer fucking Ashley and Pardew at least like some of us.
More Mensi wisdom: "I'll tell you who I thought was a really good politician who got slagged down, and that was Enoch Powell. I don't think he was a racialist at all, he just predicted things that DID happen...The papers branded HIM as a racist...I think he should have been Prime Minister, there you are." Anyone who knows who Enoch Powell was and about his 'Rivers of Blood' speech knows what racist crap this is.
I was lucky to see the AU with Mensi singing he Is great live as is the whole band
RIP Mensi.
What a band. 🤘
RIP Mensi... from the USA!

Any one know what show this was on? Can't remember. Tia
Hey Sham, thanks, I'm actually a fan of the band btw.
I painted the title on the start of this. Me and my mate and my brother. And Mensi told me at the time, he wanted nowt to do with the NF.

When music still meant something...
It was fashionable back then, and the bigger the drum set, the more there is to smash up.
