Blazing back with The Alarm! The boys from North Wales released their first EP IN 1983 when I.R.S. Records signed them to a recording contract. The promptly toured with U2 in the U.K. and in the U.S. Later the band opened for The Police, and were so popular that they were headliners after that.
Coming from a punk background, their sound especially in the early years, is raw and uncluttered often compared to U2. I feel they found their own voice which makes you want to get up and march to the front lines! The Alarm persevere and some members are still releasing new material proving their staying power. Here is “The Stand” from the 1983 self-titled EP.
