Angelic Upstarts

Sons Of Spartacus

BY Rob FerrazPublished Jun 1, 2003

If you take a look at the band’s photos on this, you may think they should’ve called this Dads of Spartacus. But even though they’re getting close to Rolling Stones territory, the Angelic Upstarts prove they can rock with the kids. They still stick to their working class roots with songs about war, violence, life and loss. The music is mid-tempo with catchy and memorable riffs. Clocking in at over 50 minutes, this record can drag at times. It’s as if they felt the need to extend some of the songs to over four minutes in length to add time to the total.
