The Uprise

The Uprise were one of the scenes most notorious and classic bands from the 80's. Even if they actually only released a 7'' their reputation is what made them big. They formed in 1986 in Philladelphia under the name Suburban Uprise and the members was Rob Daly on drums and vocals and the brothers Matt & Scott Andrews on bass and guitar. Jimmy "Skinny" Esmond would later join and do the vocals on their 7'' but later left to sing in The Mad Hatters. Just like most other skinhead bands around this time they played Hardcore influenced Oi! (Warzone, YDL etc etc.) and it didn't take long until they changed their bandname and had their first gigs. The band was featured on some comps (US Of Oi! and The Spirit Of Oi! - American Style) and released a couple of demo's but actually only released a single in 1988 through Oi!-Core records.
