Artist Info: Alcopop

Cambridge based. Influenced by Broadcast, Blondie, Catatonia and Kenickie, though most often compared to X-Ray Spex due to the inability to control nerves and vocal chords on stage.

Released one ep on R*E*P*E*A*T records before imploding (in the way that most R*E*P*E*A*T bands do). Got as far as a Melody Maker On mention, a single of the week from Lamacq and being played by Mssrs Lamacq and Peel.

Andy (who wrote the music) is now in lo-fi agit-provocateurs The Vichy Government. [read more...]
