Concrete Angels is a Canadian musical drama film, directed by Carlo Liconti and released in 1987.[1] Set in 1964, the film centres on a group of teenagers in a working class ethnic neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario. After a radio station announces a battle of the bands competition whose prize will be the opportunity to open for The Beatles at Maple Leaf Gardens, the boys form a band with the hopes of winning the competition.[1]

The film stars Joseph Di Mambro as Bello, the band's leader and singer; Omie Craden as Ira, the drummer; Luke McKeehan as Sean, the guitarist; and Tony Nardi as Sal, Bello's uncle who owns the neighbourhood pool hall.[2] This was the final film of actor Gary Grimes, before retiring and going into a career of helping refugees who emigrated legally in America.

Nardi received a Genie Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 9th Genie Awards.[3]
