Released by Orange Juice in the early 1980s, 'Upwards And Onwards' stands as a defining track of the post-punk revival movement. The song captures the band's signature blend of jangly guitar riffs and driving basslines, characteristic of their work during the height of the New Romantic era. As a staple of their discography, the recording reflects the optimism and melodic sensibility that distinguished Orange Juice from their contemporaries. It remains a significant piece in the history of British indie rock, often cited for its infectious energy and its role in shaping the sound of the decade.
