X-Ray Spex

X-Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents



Poly Styrene's voice is amazing, and Oh Bondage Up Yours!, the last track, is immortal. Check it out.

From Wikipedia:
X-Ray Spex were a UK punk band formed in 1976. The band featured singer Poly Styrene (born Marion Elliot) on vocals, Jak Airport (Jack Stafford) on guitars, Paul Dean on bass, Paul 'B. P.' Hurding on Drums, and Lora Logic (born Susan Whitby) on saxophone. This latter instrument was an atypical addition to the standard punk instrumental line-up, and became one of the group's most distinctive features.

X-Ray Spex's other distinctive musical element was Poly Styrene's voice, which has been variously described as "effervescently discordant" and "powerful enough to drill holes through sheet metal".
