I hope everyone likes it!!!

Angelic Upstarts are an English Punk Rock/Oi! band formed in South Shields in 1977. The band espoused an anti-fascist and socialist working class philosophy, and have been associated with the skinhead subculture. 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. The band's original members were Thomas Mensforth (Mensi) on vocals, Ray Cowie (Mond) on guitar, Steve Forsten on bass guitar, and Derek "Decca" Wade on drums.

Angelic Upstarts released in 1983 on "Reason Why?" album their iconic song: Solidarity.

This is a remake of a classic polish song. For some it is a very controversial classic, after all, the band's 1983 song “Solidarity” was intended as a homage to the Polish workers' movement Solidarność. And that was supported to a not inconsiderable extent by the Catholic Church. After all: even after 43 years the song is still a wonderful example of how ballad-like even die-hard punk rock bands can sometimes be.

"All the Polish workers fight to make their stand

And behind them every honest working men

In unity there's each other

And your friend becomes your brother

And in the tyrant's heart will be a lesson learned

Give them hope, give them strength, give them life

Like a candle burning in the black of nights

We are with you in our hearts and in our minds

And we'll pray for our nation through its darkest times

The tyrant has no smile upon his face

'Cause he knows that in his mind he's in disgrace

Remission of you will take his breath away

Until we come and we will have our day

Give them hope, give them strength, give them life

Like a candle burning in the black of nights

We are with you in our hearts and in our minds

And we'll pray for our nation through its darkest times

As the Polish workers fight to make their stand

And behind them every honest working men

Join hands with your brother

And then you can help each other

Watch the tyrant burn in the fire that he had built

Give them hope, give them strength, give them life

Like a candle burning in the black of nights

We are with you in our hearts and in our minds

And we'll pray for our nation through its darkest times

Give them hope, give them strength, give them life

Like a candle burning in the black of nights

We are with you in our hearts and in our minds

And we'll pray for our nation through its darkest times."
