the 1975

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

I don't remember anything specific from the year 1975. I was only 6. I do remember bits of 1976- lots of ladybirds in the park and a lad down the street got sunstroke. I also remember watching the FA cup final and being pleased that Mick Channon's Southampton beat Manchester United.

I remember Man Utd made me cry a year later. If I'd have been Steve Austin I'd have kicked that Jimmy Greenhoff's ass all the way to Timbuktoo.

Spooky that, I remember that hot summer of 1976 and coming home from school to find a shitload of ladybirds on the apple tree in the garden and collecting them in the tupperware cup I took to school to hold my Ribena at break time. Happy days.

We had an apple tree in our garden too.... :surprised: I used to climb it with my Steve Austin action man.

The bunnymen are mentioned in this review from The Telegraph


That’s not to say The 1975 were all hair mousse and no tunes. The quartet were a tightly sprung, well-oiled live unit, delivering overdriven, four-chord rock, pitched somewhere between Foals’ arty indie, the dirgey post-punk of Echo and the Bunnymen and American emo bands like Fall Out Boy. When topped with catchy refrains about youthful excess and group harmony vocals, this made songs like The City and She Way Out irresistible
