About this album

Stand Up is a lean, barbed rock album that sharpened The Del Fuegos’ indie-rock edge in 1987. The Boston band balances wiry guitar attack with tight, hook-driven songwriting, giving the record a rough-edged momentum that suits its streetwise themes and restless energy. Arriving after the group’s early rise in the American alternative scene, it shows them pushing beyond simple roots-rock into something tougher and more urgent. Songs such as Wear It Like A Cape and A Town Called Love underline the album’s direct melodic appeal, while the overall set reflects the band’s gritty live-in-the-room appeal and their place in late-1980s guitar rock.
