Adolescents Merch
Description: English band X-Ray Spex was one of the first punk bands not only fronted by a woman, but by a biracial woman, whose stage name was Poly Styrene. With Styrene leading the group, X-Ray Spex brought a different, more expansive, and inclusive, Punk message and sound to the masses. X-Ray Spex’s music was not the fast, aggressive punk that many of their counterparts in the scene were creating. Rather, the band offered a more snarky, socially aware sound that was upbeat and contained pop stylings that connected with new wave music. Germfree Adolescents is the band's 1978 debut album that contained the UK hit singles "The Day the World Turned Dayglo" (No. 23), "Identity" (No. 24), and "Germ Free Adolescents" which reached No. 18 in November 1978.
