Lock Up Your Daughters (song)

[3] Following their revival after their performance at the 1980 Reading Festival, Slade regained success in the UK with their 1981 album We'll Bring the House Down and the Top 10 hit single of the same name.

29 in the UK, although the band felt sales suffered as their two appearances on Top of the Pops clashed with the showing of the blockbuster films Earthquake and Jaws on ITV.

It did not see the light of day until 2005 when following the purchase of a video tape by Steve Knight from Mark Richards, David Graham from Slade In England created the documentary bootleg DVD 'One More Time' and included a cleaned up and re edited version that is still doing the rounds today.

She continued, "From Noddy's opening scream, you know it's Slade on form: great hot-headed riffs, a rhythm that'll wear out the heels of your boots in ten minutes and a beauty of a chorus.

Just watch it go..."[12] Simon Mares of the Reading Evening Post considered Slade to have "very successfully updated their sound" with the track and added that it "has strong heavy metal overtones, yet remains distinctive – and not because of Noddy Holder's vocals".

[13] The Walsall Observer noted the song has the "same brutal approach that has brought them a string of hit records", but felt it has "rather limited lyrical appeal and a repetitive drum line, enlivened only by the occasional guitar riff".

"[16] In 2007, rock music journalist Chris Ingham remarked how the song "thumps along like a steamhammer, with the groove and high backing vocals recalling 'Sweet Box' from 1970's Play It Loud, but with kick-heavy production pitching the track firmly in early '80s rock-pop territory".
