Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
The 80s was a time of obvious change, a period which the everyday that had been hanging in the air without recognition suddenly shifted, the momentum quickened, the hangovers of previous generation became polarised and the passion of anger was relit, reawakened from the early days of Punk and instead utilised with force and beauty a different kind of music scene, one that made pop be more than just bubblegum and teenage dreams, and actually not just make a point, but hammer it home with aggression and a vibe of consistency.
