The Housemartins
Four musicians from Hull combined social critique with infectious vocal arrangements on this debut. The mid-eighties record proves that a large studio budget was not required to produce a lasting musical statement.
Recorded during the mid-eighties, the production style is raw and minimal, capturing the energy of the band in a live setting. The result is a representative piece of the independent scene from that decade.
