U.K. punk rockers Vice Squad were a significant band in the second wave of British punk. At a time when the music was becoming more stylistically monochromatic and male, they stood out as one of the few groups with a female leader, vocalist Beki Bondage, and she was also one of the first artists on the scene to use her music to support animal rights and vegetarianism. The definitive document of the band's initial run from 1979 to 1985 was their debut album, 1981's No Cause for Concern, which included their signature tune, "Last Rockers." After the group reunited in 1997, they returned to the studio to cut 1999's Resurrection, which featured new songs along with recuts of fan favorites, while 2006's Defiant, 2009's London Underground, and 2020's Battle of Britain found them sounding even tougher and grittier than in their original incarnation.
