Stand Strong Stand Proud is the second studio album by Vice Squad.[1] It is the final album to feature the band's original lineup. It was originally released in 1982 by Zonophone, a division of EMI. Although it wasn't released by Riot City Records the band decided to use the Riot City name as it was a label they founded. It was later re-released by Dojo and Captain Oi! both with the same five bonus tracks.[2]

Stand Strong Stand Proud contributed to the band's presence in the punk scene, reaching #47 on the UK Albums Chart. While its sales did not match some other releases, it maintained a strong position for a punk album at the time.[3]
