Hurrah! - Who'd Have Thought

I've always thought of Newcastle's Hurrah! as one of these bands who had solid roots in '80s indiepop but aimed a bit too obviously for mainstream success and ended up as also-rans in both categories. I blame U2, who took them out of the club circuit where they belonged and had them playing stadium gigs before they were anywhere near ready. A fate that befell all too many bands of that era, unfortunately.

This was their biggest hit, from 1984 on Kitchenware.
