A Sudden Sway – Don’t Go
From one of my favorite ‘hometown’ bands, this is the brilliant B-Side to their debut single ‘Jane’s Third Party’
The Cure – Jumping Someone Else’s Train
Many early Cure singles could make it on to this site but ‘Jumping’ has always been a particular fave of mine. Sound defines a truning point in early 80s music for me.
Killing Joke – The Wait
As debut albums go, Killing Joke’s eponymous 1980 album was a belter. With many great tracks, it’s hard to pick any one but The Wait is my stand out track.
Zounds – Can’t Cheat Karma
Excellent debut single on Crass’ own label. Oh to be 15 again!
Portishead – Wandering Star
Minimal trip-hop from Bristol’s Portishead. Intense but essential listening from their debut album Dummy.
