UPROAR - Never Forgive 1985

This band shots forward vehemently with their second album on Underground Records. Uproar is a four piece from Peterlee/County Durham and started under the name The Demented in 1980, on this record are involved Stu (vocals), Baz (guitars), Woody (bass) and Gav (drums). Tim Yohannan reviews in MMR #38, July 1986: "A big sound, classic Britpunk sound - lots of production, accent on vocals and choruses. Professional punk from England." I would say short and sweet but there is nothing to add, remarkable two cover versions of old classics which they celebrate properly. This stuff was released via the German label Wave Records and they also guest on a few solid compilations and their last sign of life was the 2017 album Waiting For The Revolution which they self released, I think they're still alive so watch out for gigs and more records and the album title "Never Forgive" also suits the seventy-fifth anniversary of the atomic drop by the American army on Nagasaki, but that is pure coincidence.

  1. That has to be one of the worst album covers I have ever seen.
