us that apparently at the band's December 29th show in South Shields, Mensie announced that the Angelic Upstarts were calling it quits. Our news submitter says that they haven't completely ruled out doing the occasional European festival, but the band will cease being an active unit soon. This hasn't been announced on the veteran band's website, but it hasn't been updated since that show. Anyone with more info please drop us a line. The band released their latest album "Sons Of Spartacus" on Capitan Oi! last year.
