About The Record:

Up Against the Wall, by Fatback, is a notable track from the album Is This The Future?, showcasing the band’s signature funk and disco sound. This synth-funk record, available in both original and disco mix versions, reflects Fatback’s evolution from their 1970s street funk roots to a more dancefloor-oriented style in the early 1980s. The song, while not a major chart-topping hit, contributed to the album’s dancefloor appeal.
