My formative years were spent in the 80's with foundational bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, and Jane's Addiction. Even though the 80's was the pioneer decade for the alternative genre, this music transcended into the 90's and to some cool tunes today which could be classified as alternative. Hopefully, this site will bring back some good memories and introduce some things you haven't heard before.
Instantly liked this song - it starts out quick and sounds like a cross between Eurythmics and Snow Patrol. Love the sound from NYC band. Unfortunately, it looks like they broke up in 2011.
My only complaint is that the song is too short and life is too short.
I'm not sure there's anything more to say about this tune by James. This is probably their most popular song but not my fav - I'll post that soon. Enjoy the live performance below.
BTW, they're another great band from UK and have released more records than you thought.
