Originally they weren't Spandau Ballet at all, they weren't a band, but a gang of immaculate ne'er-do-wells, dubbed the Angel Boys, lary lads out of the Angel Islington, who gravitated to the grooviest haunts in Soho and Covent Garden. And at the core of this coterie were the brothers Kemp, a pair of undeniably good looking boys who'd done a bit of acting and still knew how to look the part and cast theatrical shapes on a dance floor. But no one knew that they harboured musical ambitions. Not that is until fellow north Londoner Steve Dagger announced that they had a band and he was their manager. He used it to invite a dozen or so of the elaborately attired young movers and shakers from the highly trendy club scene, to a rehearsal in a dodgy Islington studio. More...

No other song gets my endorphins running in quite the same way. Hearing this come up on my playlist or on the radio is absolutely guaranteed to cheer me up, no matter how crappy my day was. Spandau's Barricades | Reviewer: Patti Birch ------ About the song THROUGH THE BARRICADES performed by Spandau Ballet I loved this song when it first came out. It has haunting music and incredibly powerful lyrics. It conjures up(to me at least)images of a war-torn city, and families struggling to survive. If this song was written by Gary Kemp, how the hell does he manage to write such a powerful song like this? A very good song!! | Reviewer: medardo ------ About the song ONLY WHEN YOU LEAVE performed by Spandau Ballet I like it too much , since i was a boy and now is one of my favorite song , lifeline, gold, true etc, thanks for that song bye!! A Barricade for Life | Reviewer: Georgie ------ About the song THROUGH THE BARRICADES performed by Spandau Ballet The very first time i heard this song i was captivated by the music, you see i am deaf and will not hear the words until i have looked them up on a site like this one. so i had the ability to concentrate on the wonderful musical qualities of the song before later hearing the story which goes with it. tony hadley sings wonderfully on this record and the music is very well matched to his voice. "he fought for what he thought" a wonderful play on words that adds to the song. the highs of wasteland when sung lifts the song up and gives it integrity. it makes you think about barricades in your own life, how does one cope with mental blocks, physical stops or barricades. this song in my oppinion is a message to people that they can go through their own barricades, and that nothing should stop them in life. something i have found useful in my own life struggling with an illness such as deafness, but take a listen to this song, listen carefully, and you will all hear a great song, but analyse it in many different ways. either way well done boys on such a great song, which reminds me of love made on wasteland, through the barricades A winner from Hadley and the Kemps. | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song THROUGH THE BARRICADES performed by Spandau Ballet Spandau Ballet were the nice boys of New Romance. While the bandana-wearing Durans caroused on beaches with bikini clad women, the Spandau's wore nice suits from C&A , sang with their hands over their hearts and felt every word. Okay so some of it was cliched nonsense and a great deal smacked of Hallmark mock sincerity but just every now and then with one line Spandau Ballet would find their way into your 13 year old heart and you'd just get them. With 'Through the Barricades' they've attempted to combine a love song with a little social commentary. The song is set in a 'troubled' Belfast, a couple who come from different sides of the Protestant / Catholic, Loyalist / Republican divide, its a Romeo and Juliet for contemporary Britain. It speaks of untamed love crossing all boundaries and the release that their relationship gives them over their troubled existence "So come to me when I'm asleep, we'll cross the lines and dance upon the street". Its a timeless theme, love and passion helps the young sould escape the most dire situations from Springsteen being Born to Run to Rod Stewart and his Yojng Turks we've all felt it sometime. Ultimately it falls short because they havent been there, their writing from imagination and hearsay and though you try to forget you ca't help but feel it lacks a little experience. For all that its a beautiful little melody with some lovely guitar runs and some great vocal work from Tony Hadley. awesome! | Reviewer: MC Steaksauce ------ About the song GOLD performed by Spandau Ballet This song is insanely awesome! A song you and your friends can take a road trip to anytim and sing to other cars, especially hitting the high notes. catchie rythym | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song THE FREEZE performed by Spandau Ballet to me this has a couple of one-liners that are cool, 'the art is pretending it's art', 'erogenous zones win again' .... but what does it all mean? The question is where do we pay????
