A fine slice of Proto-Indie pop from the ignored, but badly named
Grow-Up. Fourteen, almost catchy, tracks of concise unpretentious pop
music. Part of the post punk world that tried to distance itself from
the gobbing, leather jacketed Travis Bickles that fucked Punk up
forever. It was a subversive act to be able to play an instrument, write
eloquent lyrics that didn't rely on expletives, and create songs that
you can remember. A quality album full of song-craft, like an nonirritating Spherical Objects record, but better.

Great album. Really love indie-pop before all that Sarah Records anorak twee shitness.
I will take your advice, but as you can imagine I listen to torrents of music every day just to find appropriate stuff to drone on about in this blog and other appropriate vessels.
I'm sure its a..... grower (geddit?),and i'll give it a longer chance when i'm bored.
On so many levels the unsung Manchester background to the Smiths, only a few years ahead of them. Has this ever been mentioned? You can hear Morrissey inflections and phrasings anticipated in John Bisset-Smith's voice (The Best Thing, Joanne) and Marr guitar picking (The Best Thing). It's a bit uncanny just how close they can be. And the restless inventiveness and the packing in of ideas, words and linguistic turns in the lyrics…
So now we know who to blame for the Smiths!
Could you please re-upload this file?
I recently came across this stuff thanks to Mark Burgess from The Chameleons Vox.
Ozzy from Lima, Peru
