| | SHAM 69 |
 | | Sham 69 still exist today, playing greatest hits sets to old punks and mellowed skinheads but still doing it with the swagger that made them a great band to see back in the old days. | | | Trouble was, their music tended to attract the more yobbish punks, and attending a Sham 69 gig was perceived as a risk by the more sensitive, art-school liberal wing of the punk movement. | | | Though Sham were always touring (and their gigs almost always descending into fights), they kept at it in the studio, knocking out another couple of chart singles and introducing more complex lyrical ideas and more considered music on their third album The Adventures Of The Hersham Boys (1979). |

| | Sham's second album, That's Life, was released in the fall of 1978, and featured two major hit singles, "Hurry Up Harry" and "Angels With Dirty Faces"; and as many of the first wave of U.K. punk bands were beginning to peter out, Sham 69's popularity continued to grow. | | | However, there was a fly in the ointment for Sham 69; the band's rowdy, sing-along attitude began attracting a violent and undiscriminating audience, and fighting became increasing common at the band's live shows. | | | The success of the single and the band's growing fan base prompted Polydor to sign the band in the U.K., and their first album, Tell Us the Truth -- one side recorded live, the other in the studio -- was released in early 1978. |

| | Oi, Mr Blair! from Guardian Unlimited: Conferences |
| | The band was the "voice of the people in the first wave of British punk" and introduced football chant-style lyrics into their songs. | | | Columnist and critic Garry Bushell is a huge fan of the band - he coined the phrase the "Oi!" movement for the street punk sound of bands like Sham 69 in the early 80s. | | | It was If the Kids are United by punk band Sham 69. |

| | Given that Sham were never famous for their diversity, either lyrically or musically, with most songs basically revolving around tales of life in the less-priveldiged lane, played to a soundtrack of metal-riffs and catchy, football-terrance chant like choruses, the idea of them performing a concept album was a bit of a double-edged prospect. | | | As I mentioned, Sham were never really renowned for anything other than chanty rockers intended to be played loud, and it has to be said that while I wouldn't go as far as calling any of the songs terrible, it isn't their best collection of tracks. | | | Not contend with having to face up to the infamous challenge of 'The Sophomore Slump', after their decent debut record, Sham 69 decided to take on an even greater contest, by not only making their second album good, but by performing punk's first ever concept record. |

| | Sham 69 |
| | The summer of '78 saw Sham at the No.9 spot with the "If The Kids Are United" single, a track that still to this day is regarded as one of Punk's finest recorded moments. | | | It wasn't to be, for despite a Top 50 entry with "Tell The Children" the band's fourth studio LP "The Game" was unreservedly (and totally undeservedly) panned by the critics who couldn't wait to bang a nail in the band's (and Punk's) coffin. | | | They debuted on Polydor with the brilliantly raucous "Borstal Breakout" which, though not a chart entry, added to their reputation as "the only REAL Punk band" and in the eyes of their growing "Sham Army" they were the only group who sung about things they could actually relate to - everyday life. |

| | TrouserPress.com :: Sham 69 |
| | It's odd that the truly essential Sham LP — their finest moment and the only record that could put to rest their reputation as a sloppy, by-the-numbers punk circus — would emerge so late in the game. | | | Arguably their best single, "Hurry Up Harry" is about the importance of "going down 'a pub." Lead singer/lyricist Jimmy Pursey was earnest enough, and the band simple and basic: although their records are of no lasting import, Sham became the most popular UK punk band of their time, scoring five Top 20 singles. | | | Worse, it's the same old songs with an original '77 lineup far inferior to the later Shams of the Link live albums. |

| | Sham 69 : Kings & Queens - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Though this collection misses out on some of their best work from the third and fourth LP era, what's here is classic, vintage, unpretentious, working-class punk and, The Game aside, Sham 69 and these songs have never sounded better. | | | Sham 69 : Kings & Queens - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect | | | But it doesn't matter when -- these versions are better played and are way hotter than the original looks at formerly "Sham"-bolic recordings as "I Don't Wanna" and "They Don't Understand" (which also argues for a vastly superior modern rerecording). |

| | Dave Parsons, the guitar player for most of Sham's career, brought the Pistols' inspired amateurism to the party (although he sure as hell wasn't Steve Jones or Glen Matlock) and Pursey supplied the one-dimensional lyrical content (Strummer was a master theoretician by comparison). | | | Pop quiz time for all you punk scholars! | | | But it's clear that Sham 69 were one of the first of the early punk bands to straddle the uneasy no-man's land between the Sex Pistols' basic rhetoric ("Any kid can be us, mate") and the Clash's ("Any kid can lead the revolutionary proletariat, mate"). |
