  • Not so Twee

    So starting this episode with Tullycraft's song Twee. Early indie pop or alternative has been seen as being 'twee', I find it difficult to describe because there were, and still are, a lot of nuance within the alternative scene.
    I'll go back to the early days of Orange Juice and talk about the bands, how they developed their music, especially The Soup Dragons, PWEI and Primal Scream.
    There is a lot to go into in one episode, this will probably cover the 80's up until at least 1987
    Tonights bands:
    Tullycraft- Twee
    Orange Juice- Bridge
    The Soup Dragons- Whole Wide World
    The Flatmates- Shimmer
    Pop Will Eat Itself- Sweet Sweet Pie
    The Sea Urchins- Please Rain Fall
    The Field Mice- End of the Affair
    Primal Scream- Imperial

    This podcast has a couple of songs by bands I like, my first album, first gigs and some extras to give you a flavour.

    I hope you enjoy the show
