Angelic Upstarts are an English punk rock / Oi! band formed in South Shields in 1977. AllMusiccalls them "one of the period's most politically charged and thought-provoking groups".[2] The band espouse an anti-fascist and socialist working class philosophy, and have been associated with the punk and skinhead subcultures.

The band released eight studio albums in their first decade.[3] After a brief split they reformed in 1988, and a number of times subsequently, with new albums appearing in 1992, 2002, 2011, and 2016.[4] More than two decades after its release, their debut single, "The Murder of Liddle Towers", was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time.[5]
