Menace – Screwed Up // Insane Society (Illegal Records) 1977. My first foray into Oi as well. This is a monumental day.
Actually, I am not that big of an Oi fan. A lot of it just doesn’t do much for me. Don’t get me wrong, like the Big Boys said, “Cockney Rejects are the worlds greatest band…but I like Television and Public Image too…so what am I supposed to do?”
Right…I digress.
Menace….yeah muthafuckkin Menace. “Screwed Up”…does it get better than this song? Me thinks not.
Yes, Yes Yes Yes, Yes! Fuck Yes! Did I mention YES! I need more. Post all singles by the Menace. I worship thee! I beseach thee!
this is one of my all time faves. one of the best! STILL a totally underrated band. to the person reading this, you need to stop reading, and start downloading!!!

I’m not a huge fan of Oi, but I have always LOVED Menace, great post!!!!
Thanks for aiming me to your blog and for the Menace. Screwed Up was just about the only cover Vancouver’s recently reformed Subhumans played live. I like the way the song hits you from the first second.
Fuckin great UK band!! I dunno if I’d call it Oi! but who fuckin cares, it’s KILLER!!!!! Somebody locate these dudes and I-view ‘em……!
