Xtc Pillows
Description: By the end of the '70s, XTC were progressing at a rapid pace, and after two albums of kinetic jagged pop laced punk surging through its veins, Drums and Wires showed the band was not about to get stuck in the punk-era rut. This was more than evident on the offbeat single Making Plans for Nigel which hit the U.K. Top 20 and helped the band gain a solid underground following in the U.S. All told, Drums and Wires was the band's first true masterpiece, but hardly their last...
Description: The Teardrop Explodes were an English post-punk/neo-psychedelic band formed in Liverpool in 1978. Best known for their Top Ten UK single "Reward" (which is still a staple of 1980s alternative pop compilations), the group originated as a key band in the emerging Liverpool post-punk scene of the late 1970s.
