Redskins - Bring It Down

[unclemort1960]

good to see alexei sayle in the vid

[IClassStruggle]

Working-Class Unity.

[ajkhere]

Just damn good!

[Gaffer96]

All well and good looking at the political element of this great tune but times have changed.At the time we were fighting Thatcher and supporting steel,mining and shipyard workers who were losing their jobs in their thousands.We had 3,000,000 unemployed and i left school to no work...Communism has died and showed it wasn't a perfect solution.

[hilarioph]

I never heard this in the Philippines

about this song back in the 80's. Only

i remember some Euro songs from

The flock of seagulls and Duran Duran

and USA songs from the late Michael Jackson

and Madonna. Anyway thanks to up load this song

[StanPomeray]

One of the finest singles of the 1980s, and sadly virtually unheard of. When did you last hear this on the radio?

[Redskins001]

@StanPomeray - Not heard this on the radio since 1985. But on Saturday I did hear the Redskins single 'Keep On Keepin' On' blasting out of the stereo in the Fred Perry shop in Bicester Village.

[calboy64]

@StanPomeray fuk thatcher...i spit on her grave

[67roko]

if you listen to the music and disregard the politics, a great sound.

[cla5hsupporter]

BRING IT DOWN!!!!!!

[101winnie1]

top band,top tunes,top sentiments...all still applies today...BRING IT DOWN!!!!

[dannylonglegs]

Wow! Woke up this morning and bizzarely had this track in my head even though I can't have heard it for 20+ years. Couldn't remember what it was called or who it was by but with the good old power of the world wide web here it is!!

Awesome track!!!

[wavydavy155]

...and some things never change - Lord Young, David Cameron's business adviser recorded just this week telling a journalist that its a "so called recession" and most Britons have never had it so good.........

[CharlotteStarrhh]

Prob in top 5 tunes of the 1980's

I like the way Chris Dean has disappeared rather than reform and do jingles for Asda

[geoffquinn]

bring it down 2010 tory goverment !!!!!!!!

[TheBeatMerchant]

Classic angry soul-funk!

[geordiegooner]

Great song, brings back the memories. Bring it down, all together

[GODZILLA1998FILM]

[tinkerbig]

[Redskins001]

@tinkerbig - I've posted a few Redskins videos on here. Got a few more too if I can ever find my DVDs which seem to have gone missing!

[joelhistory]

Miss you lads....

[15chipshops]

Redskins were an awesome band!

My collection of their records will never be sold!!!

[aschlesinger]

Alexei Sayle!

[ed40carter]

I went to see them at the powerhouse in birmingham when someone ranfgcentral news and said the gig was cancelled. they were superb and we need more bands like them now

[dermot51]

in fairness Dean wasnt involved with the Red Wedge shower a little smarter than that i think

[kazandemocrat]

Brings back memories of this playing on the video duke box in the Gloucester Inn on the Gloucester Road in Kensington during the Summer of 1985.

[chilledangel71]

I bought this single when I was 14 and my mates and I were wearing baseball jackets and second hand ripped jeans from Afflecks palace in Manchester! - thanks for this upload - it's brought back great memories,wish I'd looked sooner!

[8671Dave]

I was flicking through my Max Headroom collection on video (Poor quality) and had to look up Redskins to see the video in full.... Awesome!! Alexei in all!!

[8671Dave]

I had not heard this song before but I'd just been flicking through some old Max Headroom video's and thought I'd look up the full video on Y.T very glad I did. Alexei's the bomb aye!!

[Bluemerlin32]

Was that Alexei Sayle in the video?

[HellboundBlock]

yes

[bigbadscrew]

12" version in the loft !!! Have to grab the ladder and go through the collection to find it. Thanks for reminding me of a great song.

[Dangarus1]

"never agreed with the whole red wedge thing but ironically love the redskins everything weller has done and am dont dislike billy bragg....strange eh?"

Completely agree mate, Not very left wing at all but their music is amazing and inspirational.

[StanPomeray]

One of the finest voices of the 1980s, and some of the best lyrics as well.

And what do we have now? fucking Pop Idol.....jeez

[s2trash]

They had something that is sadly soooooo missing now . RE FORM

[aitorxu]

fukin ell lets stop this madness now let the workers rule and make this world better theres enough for everyone and more oi oi oi

[partisan1916]

Red Revolution Now..Make capitalism history now...bring on the dictatorship of the proletariat

[whsonic]

@partisan1916 I don't need any dictatorship. Just kick the banksters' and other capitalists/criminals asses real hard.

[ac1d1c1]

never agreed with the whole red wedge thing but ironically love the redskins everything weller has done and am dont dislike billy bragg....strange eh?

[robbiec4352]

i need these tracks on mp3 but from where??? they still sound as good now as back in 84 lol. havent heard these tracks since the late 80's

[Redskins001]

The Redskins album 'Neither Washington Nor Moscow' is available on CD and I'm sure that you can also get the mp3s from the likes of itunes, amazon, etc.

[marklp1]

Get youtube clip extractor (free on the net)

Download the video and use AVS video extractor(also free on the net) to seperate the music from video...It''s easy to use..let me know if you have any problems :-)

[cocotuss]

Don't somebody know, where can I download at least a few songs from that band?

[melboy33]

Remember buying the 12"record when it charted. Its still in my attic & I played to death then.Still sounds great after all these years and guess what Im still playing it to death. 1 of my all time favs.

[R0CKY44]

Me too, except I fear my 12" vinyl Redskins are long gone, I had them all. Awesome.

[tab999]

Alexi did resemble "Cap'n Bob"!

Great song, great band, good vid. Thanks.

Any one got their version of 16 tons and could post it here?

[beefygoodnes]

[beefygoodnes]

Remember buying the 12" decades ago,played to death then & cant stop playing now.Still got the record in the loft but no turntable

[strike84]

Great song and a video ahead of its time.Thanks.

[harrynicholas]

Well I never, I worked on this video with the Molotov Bros, all the grapics are pretty much my own work - never thought I'd see this again. Got to shake hands with Alexi Sale too. (Check out my website).

Shit hot band. Almost forgotten how good they were!
