Oh, how the late 70's were a veritable smorgasbord of new and different styles...punk, glam, hip-hop, disco, ambient, heavy metal, new wave...it must have been a glorious time to be into music. UK new wave group Bill Nelson's Red Noise rose from the ashes of Be-Bop Deluxe, foregoing their glam and progressive rock sound for something a little more electronic and punchy. The band only released one album, 1979's "Sound on Sound," but they fall right in line with so many of their contemporaries of the time. This record isn't a game changer by any means, but it's fun, and it's a perfect snapshot of where new wave music was at the time. Take a listen to "Revolt into Style" below.
And here's the more punkish "Don't Touch Me I'm Electric." Dig on that sax.
We'll finish up with "Furniture Music."
