The Badgers - Cycleface

Extremely obscure female-fronted twee indiepop band whose sole contribution appears to be a four-track 12" on Norwich's wonderful Wilde Club label. Who were they? Where did they go? Anyone?

The Bardots - Sad Anne

Because I'll never get tired of plugging the Bardots, even if not one person in fifty who visits this blog has ever heard of them.

This is an early single, and was also on the first ever Wilde Club records release.

Cherry Forever - Spook

Here's a brilliant tune from a band about which I know absolutely nothing. Their EP Headstrong was released on Wilde Club records, best known as the original home of Catherine Wheel, and also the original home of the Bardots (although, given the Bardots' criminal obscurity, that's not really much of a claim to fame). They had a sort of psychedelic shoegazey indiepop sound which reminds me a bit of 14 Iced Bears.

Terrible name for a band, though.
