Song of the day – 80: Flowers

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

From the first Earcom compilation (parent company, Fast Forward, you might know better for Gang Of Four, Mekons et al, with its motto of “difficult fun” and “mutant pop”). I don’t mind admitting I’d completely forgotten all about it – despite its leading line of “met a boy called Jerry/Whose dancing was a treat” – until re-encountering it on the totally incredible ‘reference of female-fronted punk rock’ 12-CD compilation (still free to download). God damn this song is fine: taut, bruised, menacing. From Edinburgh, Scotland apparently. Well, of course they are!

Here. Listen to it here.
