Menace were one of the wave of punk bands to explode out of the London scene in the summer of \u201977. They epitomized everything about that incredible year. they played all the main punk gigs like the Roxy, Hope & Anchor and Vortex, as well as Rock Against Racism festivals, building up a large following which was boosted by regular support slots with Sham 69. They were pure punk!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Initially signing to Illegal Records, their first charting single was \u2018Screwed Up\/Insane Society\u2019. However, their second single \u2018GLC\u2019 was much more controversial. It was a superb rant against the then Tory-run Greater London Council which tried to ban punk gigs in the capital. It was hard hitting with it\u2019s take no prisoners \u2018you\u2019re full of shit!\u2019 lyrics and was promptly banned my many radio stations. Three more singles followed, but by now, 1979, trouble was brewing. Fascist attendance at Sham 69 gigs, hostile press borne out of ignorance finally led Menace calling it a day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"font-size: x-small;\" face=\"Comic Sans MS\" size=\"2\" color=\"#ffffcc\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G.L.C.
